Where do you buy aftermarket rims for model kits?

[j boy]

I am curious where can I find model kit rims? For a 1:24th scale model..

Preferably, volk gtp's, advan rg's, or any mugen rim.

Please help me out!

Thanks in advance guys..

Volk GTP's don't exist in 1/24
Advan RG's are available on HLJ
Mugen wheels are made by Aoshima, but both the wheel and the kits that have them are OOP. Tamiya's S2000 Hardtop comes with Mugen wheels.

Now that was the type of info I was looking for, instead of that newbie bullsh!t..

Thanks for the real help.

we all love the FAQ and you will too when you see all it has to offer . As malsheem pointed out:

VOLK GTPs: actually are available, but are becoming more rare as they are being D/Ced, Check with www.americansatco.com

ADVAN RGs: some Aoshima kits have them, and Fujimi makes one, but it is a poor rendition of the wheels, not even close to the 17" claimed on the box.
MUGEN Rims: see what malsheem said...most Mugen wheels were available at one time or another, but are becoming super rare as the kits that included them are becoming D/Ced

Play nice people. J boy, if you ask a vague and imprecise question you are likely to get a vague and imprecise answer

How was my question vague.. I asked what kind of rims I wanted, and in what scale, I dont think it can get any more direct and to the point than that..

Well I found what I was looking for, thank you to those who helped I will read the FAQ now.

Let me give you an example since you are unable to see what I mean. A more precise question would read something like:

I am searching for 1/24th scale volk gtp's, advan rg's and mugen rims. I have read through the FAQ, searched AF, Googled it and checked all the likely online sites (HLJ, R10, etc) with no success. Would anybody be able to suggest any other places to look?

Thanks... blah, blah, blah.

See the difference?
