Where to buy Aoshima tuning parts wheels?

[turbos86]

Aoshima is coming out with some new wheels next month that I want, namely the ones on this page:
http://www.aoshima-bk.co.jp/scripts/...month=6&page=3

HLJ never carries them, and I checked Hobby search, Hobby World Internation and Rainbow Ten, I can't find a pre-order anywhere.

Please help a poor guy out if you know where I can pre-order or buy these wheels.

Thanks!

If you mean that HLJ says they are out of stock, it will just take a few more days for them to get the parts to ship to you. But if they are back ordered or not listed, I'm not sure who else to search on.

How are these different than the last sets? *cough*nevermind*cough*

The Advans and Work Equips are new aren't they?

[turbos86]

They are new, and they aren't stretch wall ones from before.

I mean HLJ does not carry these particular products and would like to know which online store does.

Thanks!

Hobbyworld would be the one to watch.


Anyway, it does say release next month... which I find doesn't necessarily correlate to when they actually get released, or when they are available, so just keep an eye out for the pre-order...Or even just the new items, or sometimes just the wheel category, they are a bit patchy about the way they categorise stuff.

edit: sure they aren't stretchwall sets? The English translation gives " pulling tire" "aluminum number"? Since the stretchwall sets had stretched tyres and aluminium numberplates...

Oops, my bad, you're right, I think they ARE stretch walls.

I guess I'll have to keep checking Hobbyworld for these to show up.

Thanks

The rims themselves aren't new but the fact that they might have stretchwall tires would qualify them as modified re-issues.

Are you certain on that? I had some of the older issue wheels ( "short rim radial" works series ones - the ones with the high profile tyres) and they are a different diameter and width to their equivalent in the Kai Parts stretchwall range...
