Need opinion on wheels

I am having some trouble picking a set of wheels. One set I would rather not paint, bt size wise seem ok. The other might look small. So here are my 3 options.
The GramLights that I like, but would rather not paint :) unless of course I can come up with a color for them.

Option 2 is a set from Geronimo Works that I picture perhaps a bleck face and white lip. Problem is that they are 19 in scale so they might look small. The Stock wheels look like 22's :)

And option 3, which I have not recieved yet.

Out of the first 2 the 2nd is better. And the 3rd set looks very promising, definitely worth trying before making up your mind.
PS: What size are the first two? They look a tad too small.

The first and last are supposed to be 20's and the middle ones are 19's. Thats why I wish manufacturers would make up their minds between 1/24 or 1/25 scale.


Here is how the compare with the stock wheels

You can clearly see the height difference here. I switched tires on my aftermarket wheels to fill the gap. If not it would be worse :(

Looks like both 1st and 2nd choice are way smaller than the stock wheels and to me they also look to small on this kit. Try the 3rd ones when you get them, those look good and might be a better size too.

Try Fujimi's 20" BBS wheels.

Can we see what option 3 would look like? The gero wheels would look good, can't tell with no paint though. I gotta say i have all his sets and they are the best cast resin wheels i have ever bought.

I don't have option 3 in hand as of yet :( I was going to hold off on painting the Geronimos, but I guess it would help. I'll get on it and maybe that will make it easier for me.

I have thought hard about the BBS. It's just hard for me to wait soo long since I can't find them in the states. Plus wheel sets not cheap lol. I have too many wheel sets and not enough cars :runaround:

I'm personally a fan of the #1 or #3. Leaning more towards #1, though. I like the cleaner crisp look. The silver accents the black/white combo well, but if you're still going for that whole stormtrooper look the others might match a bit more.

Gram lights look best I reckon. BTW your seats are way too far forward, Dont think they have short stormtroopers

Oh, I think I remember that your using the Fujimi kit, Im pretty sure its part of the inch up series, means the wheels are 1scale inch bigger than 1:1. Looks better i guess....

Good catch, thanks.
