Orthia kit comes with Mugen RNR rims?

Does anyone know if the rims with this kit are Mugen RNRs? I'm looking for some for my civic... I believe the Aoshima Mugen Accord came with them, but that's long OOP iirc.

Yup, I'm pretty sure those are RNR's.... I remember I wanted the kit only for the wheels/tires, but decided it wasen't worth it for me.

Good to hear!

I have some spare wheels I could throw on, I want to create a 1:24 of my actual car, so it's worth it for me

Honoturtle is correct. the Orthia and the Mugen Accord wagon both comw with those wheels. The ones that come with the Orthia come unpainted.

I can't make out the picture well, but if tonioseven says they're from the Accord Wagon kit too, then they may actually be the Mugen RGs, a later derivative of the RNRs. I am going to order one to find out for sure if they're RNRs...

Re: Orthia kit comes with Mugen RNR rims?

OK, then those are really the Mugen RGs, the RNRs never came in 5 lug, never had a cap, all the lug nuts were exposed, and never came beyond a size of 15x6.5 in 1:1 scale. I've owned both the 1:1 RGs and RNRs and they are quite different

Re: Orthia kit comes with Mugen RNR rims?

Hmmmn. Looks like I'll need to get busy with the drill

How big are those rims then? If they aren't 15s or just slightly bigger then I'll not bother.
