Ok, so if the reason for the wheels being different is because it isnt THE ACTUAL car from Knight Rider 2000, then does anybody know where KIFT actually is?

Where did you learn this information- I've never heard of anything like it.

Also, with interiors looking different...

This is the actual Dodge Stealth converted into the Knight 4000

and...

This is the cutaway car used for dashboard close ups and some other in-car shots

Notice the difference of the dashboards in both cars.

Those wheels are on Dodge Stealths, which was the original body base for the K4000. Those wheels were either: A) put back on the original K4000 (for reasons why?!), B) on another Stealth that they converted, or C) they just didn't care what wheels they used!

If anyone has those pics showing the buildup of the K4000 from the base Stealth, that shows a lot. Also, if you watch Scare Tactics again, take a look when they briefly shoot to the interior shot looking out of the front window. The front dash has been covered.

Agreed. The basic black just makes that car look better.

Well K.I.F.T. suffered a blown engine and I suspect he is on a backlot somewhere waiting to be decommissioned!
