Custom Wheels

Can you get custom wheels, aside from buying another model and using the wheels from it?

Yes. Both Fujimi and Aoshima sell aftermarket wheel sets. Go to Hobby Link Japan (http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljlist.cgi?Category=AutAcc&Scale=24&Dis=2) (surprise!) and see a grand assortment. Some don't have pix, though, so you have to know what the real-life wheels look like.

Wow, thanks. But those prices had better be for a set of 4 of them, because otherwise they are expensive.....

Whoa...I really want that garage....

Yes, those are all sets of four. They usually come with tires, too. :rolleyes:

But, be aware that different manufactrers build their wheels differently. Tamiya wheels have a pin connected to the wheel that pits in a poly cap located inside the brake assemblies. Fujimi wheels have a recess to hold a poly cap, and a pin pushed through from the backside of the brake. The others... :confused:

That's what sucks about this car, the back wheels have poly caps right in the wheels, but the front ones have pins through the wheels. Plus, they are different widths, so I can't really do custom wheels on these. I think I'd get some for a Stealth or something. Actually, would they work at all on ERTLs? They're totally different, aren't they?

BTW, I PMed you...

what I also do sometimes is taking a set of rims off of some other model car and cut them up then redo it with Tamiya Putty, works great, but takes forever..
