New Aoshima Vip Wheels !!!!!

For all the wheel nuts, some NEW 19" VIP wheels on the way.

19" Amistad R's
19" Kranze Borphes

These will be released as part of new kits in the 19" Collection Series. I'm sure they will be as individual wheel sets some time later.

It's like they read my mind. I've been working on making the new Amistad R's from scratch. Now I don't have to. The Borphes is okay, would have preferred the Kranze Rapier, which I am also working on building.

Cool. Could you post some pictures of the real rims please? I caould not find pictures of the amistad wheels. The other ones are pretty nice.

those rims are siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiick

both types look pretty sick, i hope aoshima release realistic versions, with appropriate plating. thanks for the info malsheem! can't wait till summer so i have money to order all these new aoshima wheels!

Yahooooooooooooooooo

Oh man.....More wheels :) Both look good.

On a related note. Aoshima is supposed to release the R34 Skyline soon (as most of us know). Along with the release they are making the Nismo Z-tune.

With this (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS03277) picture taken off HLJ it looks like Aoshima is going to make the Nismo LM GT4? If so, I hope they don't drop the ball in design.

Tamiya and the latest Fujimi LM GT4 are pretty good but not quite "there". I eagerly anticipate the Aoshima R34 Skyline release.

Byron, Aoshima is coming out with the Nismo LM GT4. It will be a 19" wheel. Right now, it is only going to be included with the Nismo R34, but you never know, it could become an S-Part wheel in the near future.

On a related note, I saw a new Luxy Aristo with what appears to be 19" Hamann HM2's. I'm still looking for more info on this one.

More wheel goodness ... :iceslolan

I could dig those Borphes under the fenders of a big Benz or Aristo. They're stellar.

I was just going to say that the Aristo wheels look pretty nice. The Celsior with the Amistad looks cool. The other, Cima? with the Kranze looks really cool.

Since the LMGT4 only comes with the Z-tune for now, it looks like I'll have to buy a stack of kits....:)

Aoshima really have been listening haven't they. Both those rims are great!

Thanks for the links. :)

I hope so. But if you look at their mini truck series, they did not release the wire wheels as a separate wheel and tire set. They also did not release the Racing Hart C-5's off of their new mini truck line either. I was really hoping that the c-5's were going to be released separately, and bigger (19"). :dunno:

Wheels are cool. I'll be broke buying them. Life is good right now. :sunglasse

malsheem, are you the same malsheem on ebay??? I just bought some wheels from you off of their. Fancy seeing you here too! LOL
I love the Kranze Borphes, I can see them sliding onto my Merc 190E.

It says end of April, which basically means May. I haven't seen anything regarding pre-orders on the major sites yet. I'm sure it'll pop up later this week. I just got the email note Sunday night, and now Aoshima's website has the info, too. So it's hot off the presses.

73superduty, yes, I am the same malsheem.

Just FYI, but the new 19" Collection VIP kits have been released.

Thanks for the heads up, will place an order for each. Do you know if they will be available seperate?

The response I got when I asked was that they spent lots of money on making the new wheels, so it wouldn't make sense for them not to sell them separately. So yes, they will, but they don't know when. My guess would be at the end of the year.

But they do release wheels in groups of 4, so I don't know what the other two might be; ones that haven't been sold outside of kits (like the 19" Gialla Jackhammer)? Or completely new ones?

Yeah...I was going to post that last night. I got both kits at 2:00am after a long night of working on my Supra.....cool lookin' wheels.

Yeah, I got the e-mail last night about them. I was hoping they'd ship today, but since I didn't see a charge on my credit card this afternoon, it doesn't look like they will ship until Monday. Nuts.

As soon as someone gets in their kits, please post some pics of the wheels. I'd like to see them. HW pics are too small.

Offtopic, but the R34 GT-R and Nismo R34 will be out on the 27th of this month.

Should I disclose how many Nismo R34 kits I'm getting? :grinno:

Most of the reactions would be: :screwy: :eek7: :loser: :spit: :wtf: :eek2: :slap:

But I'm: :bananasmi :grinyes: :ylsuper: :jump3:

Is there any news about the release of these wheel sets?

Those are some gorgeous rims!! I hope Aoshima don't do the silly limited run thing, that was most annoying!

Is there any news about the release of these wheel sets?

I haven't heard anything new on the separate release of these wheels, but I'm sure myself or someone else on the forum will post any new news that comes our way. For now, you'd have to buy the kits to get the wheels.
