  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/ab6rb.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ab6rb.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

  <p>My questions: Does this set have a "facelifted" variant? Is there an alternate box showing the set with the other wheels, or LEGO simply changed the content without changing the box?</p>

Comments.Text: Interesting! I think I spy another difference between the two photos: The cabinet door on the side — in front of the rear wheel — appears to a have different labeling scheme. And, if I squint hard at the low-res photos, I may be able to detect differences in the license plate number. Wondering if anyone else can verify these diffs or can see others.

Comments.Text: I think the license plates are the same, however the sticker below the windscreen is different - in the box art and on the sticker sheets on BrickLink it's "Truck 4", while in the other photo it's "Fire and Rescue". That might make the lower photo a development "product shot" taken before the wheels and stickers were finalised?

  I am a bit confused with the Technic firetruck set 8289. The photo on its box:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/5SDd3.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/5SDd3.png)
  
  clearly shows it has the wheels 56145c02:

  however, according to this photo from BrickLink
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/ab6rb.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/ab6rb.png)
  
  it has 6595c01:

  In the parts inventory both wheels are listed, but the parts of 56145c02 are also shown as alternate parts.
  
  My questions: Does this set have a "facelifted" variant? Is there an alternate box showing the set with the other wheels, or LEGO simply changed the content without changing the box?

  The instructions show and Brickset lists [4496197: Rim Wide W.Cross 30/20](https://brickset.com/parts/4496197/rim-wide-w-cross-30-20) as the wheel rim of choice, which fits with the release year of the Fire Truck (2006) and the manufacturing dates of the rims (2006-2013).
  
  BrickLink's "preferred" [rim](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6595&idColor=1#T=C&C=1) was only manufactured up to 2006, which might explain why it lists the pictured rim as an Alternative part - as that would have been included in later runs of the set.
