Got a reply to my feedback the other day maybe of interest.
Many thanks for your comments!!! For many years, I worked in design and productdevelopment at Monogram Models and Revell-Monogram... it only make sense
to make the wheels fit, but, it is quite a challenge to solve these small problems
so that you, as a builder, don't have to deal with these engineering challenges.
I have two-piece, 18" wheels tooled.. they are pretty cool!!
Best regards,

If they are anything like their others then ' woohoo '

Gee, can you tell this guy worked for Monogram by the way he runs his company?
Shortsighted product developement, behind the trends, late with releases of updated in demand products etc... :rolleyes:
I e-mailed him when they first hit the market and tried to tell him their wheel diameters were too small, yes they work well on 1/25 scale cars and some small 1/24 cars, but most of the tuner market is 1/24 which leaves the diameter too small.
Kudos to them for engineering them for adaptation to various makes of models, but they are late making something desirable for the 1/24 market.
