Fujimi and Aoshima wheel database?

[Jaymes]

I was browsing old threads and someone suggested making a database for all the rims, and stickying it. I think that would save a lot of people from buying unexpected garbage and so on. Maybe people can post pictures of the rims with measurements and with the tires on, or set the rims next to a model for an idea of the overall size. Maybe?

Steve (Hiroboy) carries a list of Aoshima rims in his website,

I was thinking more in terms of the actual rims and not the boxart

Aoshima only. I haven't updated the lists in awhile, as I'm about to change hosting provider and redesigning. I'll get around to it eventually.

Let's see. Ask Malsheem, Tonioseven, Hiroboy, VTECDA9 and myself to take pics of our storage. That should be all the catalog anyone would need. LOL

Malsheem has an awesome Aoshima wheel reference. Linked above post.

having the box art together with the rims measurement are a good combination for people to buy the correct rims .

being able to see the rim size next to the model is a good way to tell whether a set of rims is too small (which is usually the case with some of the rims). That way you can avoid buying that set of rims and use the money on somethign else.

Well, IMO, if you put the wheels next to a model, you are going to have complaints about the scale of the model, and sometimes the companies fudge on the scale a bit too.
Like I siad, My opinion, but if you're really needing to know the scale, purchase a caliper.
I like seeing the box art myself. After seeing models on the some of the kits here on the board, with said wheels, I purchase them.
