NEW RELEASE: Aoshima S-Parts 19" wheels are here!

This is for the wheel people out there. Aoshima's new S-Part wheels are now out. For change, they got the release date right, 31st, just like they told me (though they did push it back twice to get here). And surprise! They're 19" (according to the box, in scale might be a different story). Meaning most likely they are completely new molds, not just reboxed from their older car kits. Can't wait to see them.

Just thought I'd share. Get them quick.

19" S Parts? that is unheard of! I've found most S parts are 16" or smaller! This should be cool!

do you know where i can find box art or actual pics??

The TE-37's for some reason won't be out until Monday.

I'll post some actual pics when I get mine.

hlj said they're not in until february! they chose good wheels though! i really like the volk ce28.

Going to have to get some NT-03 for my next project, if you can guess what that may be :-p

The Volks are 19", damn it. I was hoping they would be 18". Oh well, I guess they'll have to work. HLJ needs to hurry up and get theirs so they can EMS them to me. For those that have been waiting it's about time they are released!

hlj said they're not in until february! they chose good wheels though! i really like the volk ce28.

Well, technically, Monday will be February, so it is accurate. HLJ always gets their new releases slower than others. Strange.

Yup, once those TE-37's come in, my wheels will be EMS'ed to me. Not from HLJ, so no 1 week of "processing" time.

Perfect timing too since I got some new kits recently; RX7, 300ZX, Sileighty. :biggrin:

Muhahahahahahahaha! First I find out I'll get 7 sets of 19" VIP wheels, now 10 sets of these!!! Life is pretty damned good right now!! :sunglasse

Ya, I was hoping they would be 18's also. Oh well, good thing I pre-ordered a set of TE37s and CE28Ns once I saw them on HLJ which was probably around early October. :iceslolan Looks like they might be pretty popular.

Muhahahahahahahaha! First I find out I'll get 7 sets of 19" VIP wheels, now 10 sets of these!!! Life is pretty damned good right now!! :sunglasse

:iagree:
I won't say the number of sets for my happiness. Just saw the guys in the white coats in the hall carrying a straight-jacket. They might hear. :iceslolan

Yes!! Finally there out! I have been waiting for 2months for the CE28's and TE37's.

When someone gets the CE28's, measure them please. They look a lot like the Konig rims on my 1:1, and if they aren't the full 19" I might be able to use them.

Just got the box picture of TE-37.

19" TE-37???? WTF? is it the skyline GT-R offset one? or just the normal one? if is Skyline GT-R offset one...my wallet is gone again :evillol:

do you know anywere in the US that will get them, id rather not pay freight shipping!

I'm hoping (as most of us are) it's got the offset for Skylines, Supras, etc. I hate using those flat Civic/Integra offset TE-37's from Fujimi. I'll post pics as soon as mine arrive.

I don't think any US shops will have them for a few weeks. They just got released in Japan. Not all the shops in Japan have them yet.

Well, the real 19" TE-37 has the offset for Skylines, etc. and I doubt Aoshima would screw us over with their wheels like Fujimi does. My LHS usually doesn't get the new items for 1-2 months. I already pre-ordered (and paid) for some sets even though they don't know when they'll be getting their supply. :evillol:

I really hope they have the offset of the Skylines, S15's and so on.... :iceslolan I hate the regular ones from Fujimi!:mad:

In some form or another you're going to pay for freight shipping. Possibly twice since they go from Japan to the US distributor (once) and then from the distributor to the LHS (twice). Depending on the LHS you might get hit with a profit charge.

Found some pics of the rims....

Wow....Aoshima did a nice job. Obviously the TE37's are the offset. All the wheels looks NICE..

once u go 19 u wont go back!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are bada**!!!!!!!!!!! Now i need to redo my order and get some TE37's with my CE28's. :iceslolan :naughty:

Thanks for posting the pics Francis. Those wheels are going to be really nice.

BTW who ever checks HLJ often (I) have discovered that these new rims are already in back order and they have just gotten out yesterday! Doesnt really amaze me all that much but dang they rims are in high demand.... :naughty:

good thing i preorder a while ago. just curious who else preordered from hlj.com?

just ordered few sets of each models. :D

Wish they made some of those rims in 16-18" model too. Sometimes 19" can be too big for certain cars.

At last, TE37's with deeper offset! That's my Top Secret projects sorted:D All the rims look fantastic, well done Aoshima!

In complete contrast i noticed Fujimi are giving us yet more wheels we don't really need or want;

R34 GT-R Wheel
Lamborghini Countach LP500R

:dunno:

I pre-ordered a few months ago. I saw the writing on the wall :sunglasse

Yes, hats off to Aoshima on this one. These new wheels are definitely what modelers have been wanting. In just a few days, they're selling out everywhere.

I foolishly got more of the 19" VIP's than the new S-Parts. Though had I know the S-Parts were 19's in advance, I would have done differently.

I did not preorder from HLJ, but did from Hobby World. Though my order still hasn't shipped, making me wonder if they took more orders than they got. :uhoh:

I just placed an order with hlj. the ce28s were already on backorder but i ordered 2 sets of em anyway, the te37s were low stock, then on backorder after I put in for my 2 sets as well..i also ordered one set of the Enkei nto3's. hoepfully the ce28's will come off of backorder soon. I have been waiting for these for a long time.. anyone know how much ems usually runs for 5 sets of wheels to the us?..i'm thinking not to much

Later
Gray

Yes, kudos to Aoshima! On another note, does anybody have a clue as to why HobbySearch doesn't have them anywhere on their website? I pray to the gods of modelling that I will be blessed with a set of 28's or 37's. :evillol:

Wow, those do look nice. Well, the ones that aren't the Enkei (the white ones?). I am espescially impressed with the tire molding, usually the tires suffer when the wheels are so large. Good work Aoshima.

Finally!!!! !!I just checked my HLJ account, and my rims are being processed for shipping. :sunglasse

same here!! my order should be shipped out anyday now! can't wait

Please post pictures of them when they arrive. I can't wait till my LHS gets them in. I am looking to get at least 3 sets each, minus the Enkei's. None of those for me. Thanks Malsheem for the pictures. By the way, how's your 2 VIP cars coming along?

Thank falbert19 for pics, too. I don't think many people want those Enkei's.

Ah, my VIP cars. Been in a modeling funk for a few months now. Not building any kits for me lately, only for others. No creative juices flowing right now. Hopefully, these new wheels showing up will kick start things. Can't remember when I've been more anxious to receive packages.

Post office has my EMS package with my 19" VIP's. Still no notice on my S-Parts yet.

I actually like the Enkei's i noticed HLJ still has plenty but I didn't order any only CE28s (preorder for next shipment). I haven't ordered the Enkeis but i plan to in the future (in a couple months).

will the racing hart's be a two piece wheel (i have plans for them)

The Rcaing Harts look to be a 2-piece.

I'll buy the NT-03M's sometime. I have a couple sets of Fujimi NT-03's I haven't used yet. The M's do look better. Lighter too....in real life ;)

will the racing hart's be a two piece wheel (i have plans for them)

Of the 4 wheels, the Racing Hart's look to be most likely to be two-piece. It would be cool if they all were 2-piece. Then we could interchange rings with other 19's.

Finally got my shipping notice from Hobby World. If it goes out tomorrow, I should have them next week. Unfortunately, they couldn't add more TE37's to my pre-order. Going (gone) like hot cakes, I tell you. They added it to their online catalog with a SOLDOUT status. No chance to order any.

HLJ just said they're sending my TE37's. I bought my CE28's and R.H.CR for Hobby World and obviously TE37's from HLJ. It looks like it worked perfectly as both say the wheels are shipping EMS. Hopefully soon....

BTW Joe, I can get some pics of wheels (for your site) if you want. Like the G-Zero, BBS LM, etc...

Any pics you can provide would be great. I got a few new sets I need to take pics of myself.

Madness took over last night. Ordered more sets. Go to get more TE37's. Now just have to get rid of my crappy Fujimi ones.

Cool...I get those over to you. HLJ e-mailed the shipping code so I should get my TE37's any day now. :naughty:

Wish I had seen this earlier. I just entered my very first Hobbyworld order for several sets of 19" wheels. I'll have to see how good their service is since I've always used HLJ.

Actually both look good to me.

The Lamborghini rims look like they have no dish at all :(

Thw GTR wheel looks pretty nice, it might be me but doesnt it look a little tiny bit small than others? I wish they made the center cap with the option to be attachable so if you wouldnt like to put it on it would look like Subways R34 wheels he made with the lugs showing.

finally got my TE37 and Racing Hart shipped out from HLJ. the Racing Hart said to be backordered but they send me 3...... :)

man...the enkei nto3 are the only ones I ordered in stock..i hope they get some te37's and ce28's soon..i've got some projects waiting on them

will the racing hart's be a two piece wheel (i have plans for them)

For those wondering, of the 4 new wheels, the CR is only two-piece one. See the rear box pic.

HJL .......Well pissed off Now
Ordered 3 sets of each S-Parts 19" wheels on 18 October 2003
I checked a few days ago and they were in stock
I asked to ship now and they didn't, NOW they are out of stock, with not idea when they'll be back
Fuking pissed off as I spend a shit load each year at HLJ

Damn Steve, that sucks. Yet another "satisfied" HLJ customer.

Hobby World still has all but the TE37's in stock.
R10 still has all of them in stock, though their spreadsheet listing can sometimes be out of date.

Sorry to hear about that Steve. Why the hell do they do that? I also pre-ordered but in December and HLJ was going to honor my pre-order. I ended up cancelling my pre-order which one would think would increase the supply on hand.

I ended up ordering the TE37 the day they came onto the HLJ website and they're already on the way. I also ordered the CE28 and RHCR from H.World and those are on the way. Good control HLJ's got over there.

ok, at least some evidence back me up on HLJ is a fuck.

I am not alone in hating HLJ. I was told that me sounds like baby being fucked by HLJ last time, but HLJ do piss people off frequently.

You wouldn't be slightly biased by being a competitor to HLJ in any way, not with all the models and parts you're trying to sell on here. No, not at all. :disappoin

Yes, their shipping and inventory system is a bit odd at times, but in the end they have the best option for prices, selection, security, and overall reliability. I know I'm going to take some heat for posting this, so be it, but I don't think anybody overall matches up to HLJ. :2cents:
