Supposedly this is 19" since the actual Estima kit has 19".

I don't have exactly the same ones, but Work 18 in is 20.5mm dia., and a 19 in, which I forgot the name, is 22.45mm dia.
Would that help?

If you want big, go with the hoppin hydros 20's. I've never seen any of them, though :(

Yah, I guess Hoppin Hydros it is :smoker:
My nearby hobby shop is stocked with them whereas I have to go "japan" for the Aoshimas :frog:

If my measurements are right it only makes them the same size as Aoshima's 19's series :confused: :confused:

They're 20" in 1/25 scale I think as they might be geared for US domestic kits which are predominantly 1/25.

It says on some wheels they are for 1:24/25 scale kits....which makes them only 19's on 1:24 scale

You could get a dub city kit since those come with 2 sets of rims. They're in 1/18th scale and come with 20" rims, so it would be like having.. 26" rims in 1:24. :bloated: :smoker:

I thought it's 1/24 scale with 20" rims...
Nevertheless, you're right. For $13 you could get 2 set of jumbo 20" chrome rims... :D Think me will get one locally

You're right that one is 1/24 scale. I think I read about the wrong one on the site.
