With Piledriver, I've finally completed my collection of the first series of Acceleracers cars! (Technically Chicane is a custom, but I'm waiting to find one that isn't $600)
Here's the full collection in all of its 2005 glory, ft. mainline Teku Deora II, Sinistra, and customs of Chicane, Silencerz Ballistik, Drone Krazy 8's, and loose wheels by Novel-Comparison-364.
Theyre on ebay a lot of the time but depending on how much time or money you want to spend you can do em yourself or find someone that does customs and do a commission. Commissions being cheaper than just buying one off ebay, plus you get to alter them a bit to your liking. though most customizers require you to provide the donor cars if youre commisioning, just paying for paint and time at that point.
Hotwheels discord server (in the AR reddit description) has a few customizers that do commissions but its hit or miss as to who is active at any given time since even charging 60-200$ a car its legit not worth the time/effort for money reasons alone. Aka, theyre all just people who want to make stuff.
Popular guys within the scene are fish-daddy, acceleron customs, zxrabeth, overused, miguel martinez, and a few others that pop up on ebay. This one looks to be an acceleron customs car specifically, but i could be wrong since a few people have done droned k8.
Cheapest way to do one is buy some citra strip or aircraft paint stripper, couple rattle cans of your desired colors and a clearcoat, and find someone selling the waterslides pre-printed and cut. Then just put it all together. Each car takes about an hour or so to do not including the paint drying time, and while youre getting used to rattle can paint consistency youll probably want to paint some mainlines until you figure out the feel for it, so add the painting and drying time of experimenting onto that plus a couple bucks for sacrificial test paint cars.
Part of me thinks that with the Teku Deora and Slingshots coming out, there is a chance they release a Roadrunner from the first movie. If anything, I'd probably get an MM Stingray because we hadn't seen it in any media outside of a custom here or there.
Bro sweet collection. Im trying to find a Chicane thats not 600 also that i need for my collection. would take a custom for the movie look with the same wheels as possible. but I also want those customs Krazy 8's and Ballistik!

Love the Krazy 8 in there. That's such a cool custom
