I guess I would still take the view that if finer wheel standards are your focus, that's great. I tend not to concern myself too much with the bottoms of the cars when there's more to do with the tops:
Notice how so many freight cars have different-colored paint patches. I'm not sure if any commercial models have done this, though I may have overlooked something or not be aware of higher-quality offerings. Also, commercial models seem consistently to get the roof colors wrong! In my own view, I'd look at these things before I started to scrutinize the wheels. In fact, it wasn't until I began scanning all these photos that I started to understand that these color issues were part of what I enjoy about the Reiz. Chacun à son gout!
