Am I Right...
Am I right in thinking that to convert real sized items to 1/24 scale all I need to do is get the real measurements and divide that by 24?
So that a real 17inch alloy rim would be 0.7083 of an inch in 1/24 scale? 17/24=0.7083 If I'm wrong could someone please let me know how to convert the measurements?

You've got it!...
I usually work in millimetres - there are 25.4mm to 1inch So fly's maths lesson for today - 17x25.4 = 431.8mm therefore 431.8/24 = 17.99mm so 1.8cm simple!

METRIC-SMETRIC PAH!!!
I'm an Englishman and if imperial measurements were good enough for a third of the world then they're good enough for me!!!! I drive everywhere at 100 MILES an hour not whatever the hell 100MPH is in Kmh!!  Don't worry only J/K!!

Exactly Daggerlee, Exactly!!!
I can picture it now... 'I live my life two furlongs at a time, 'cos for those ten seconds or less...' Ahh the possibilities!! P.S. For those of you who are thinking W.T.F? There are 8 furlongs to a mile!
