Where have you been? HLJ hasn't had 19" Aoshimas in stock for like the last 6 months at least. They're all OOP in there system. And none of the other sites (HS, HW) have had them in just as long.

Like slk320 said, ebay is your best shot. Only online shop I've had any luck with is MechaHawaii, but since he's got a real shop, whenever he gets some in, the locals usually get them first. Wish I lived in Hawaii.

;) You know that! Not that i'm a hoarder or anything. Not like some of the others here on AF. I won't mention any names. :D Try emailing him now. His shipment is due here anyday now. He was saying by wed. he should have his in-shop inventory in.

I don't why Aoshima doesn't produce more wheels. They're not OOP, since they still produce a number of VIP kits that have these wheels in them, so it's not like the locked the molds for them in a vault somewhere. And there is definitely a healthy demand for it. Strange.

I think joecwlaw still has some in the classifieds. Other than that, MechaHawaii sounds like a good place to get rims/kits from! :D

What brand makes those wheels that Hiroboy has?

I'm guessing Aoshima, but are there any other brands that make those wheels?

Would anyone know where to get the Pegasus sleeves (European online shops)? How about US online shops, which send the stuff overseas? I've found a couple of US shops, but they didn't seem to have them in stock..
