One question though, when I went to paint them, the texture is slightly more rough than I anticipated... How would you recommend lightly sanding them (being multilayered and really tiny spokes)?

Thanks
I normally sand it with very fine sandpaper or an all sandpaper and doing it very relax because they are very tiny parts .
Iīm glad that they arrived well

Re: 1/24 scale Enkei RPF1s

Shoot... I was test fitting tires and pressed too hard and snapped one of the wheels. Is there any way to order another pair or individually?

edit: wrong information

If he will print out 5 wheels to make it worth his time, I will take a set and he can send you the 5th.

He broke 1 wheel and only needs one, but may not be worth your time to only make one. If you make 5, I will take a set of 4, and you send one to him

So 1 wheel to Wolf95 and 4 wheels to me. Probably better to make more if taking the time to set up the machine, no?

I use a sandblaster to clean mine then use filler primer.

Re: 1/24 scale Enkei RPF1s

Just make it 6. I could use an extra extra spare, just in case. That works for me and makes more sense. If I had to, I would just pick up a whole set. But if we can make this work, that would be awesome.

Re: 1/24 scale Enkei RPF1s

So would hemi killer then buy the kit then send me just the two? Or how would we split that up. Looks like it's about 5 dollars per wheel, plus shipping.
