Purple fronts and pink rears seem to last me quite a white. Be sure to run a bead of CA around the sidewall to prevent chunking. They are expensive though. I've also had good luck with a full round of greens, and they are the cheapest foams you can get.

It's the ugliest thing I have ever seen, and it has no full-sized counter part (thus it shouldn't be ROAR legal, but it is). There is no full sized Bentley Speed 9. I have yet to try the body myself, but I do know that the Speed 8 body by Parma is great (it's still ugly and doesn't look anything like the real thing).

to my knowledge there is no one currently making rubber tires for 1/12th scale pan cars. It's all foams.
