Where do you buy 1/24 wheels?

Hello, Ive recently got back into scale modeling, and Im starting again with the revell datsun z, and have many more kits on the way (including a toyota 2000gt). But the stock wheels that come with the datsun are horrible. Im looking at wheels on ebay, but id like an easier way. Looking for wantanabe wheels etc, with axels. Preferrably not in japan or overseas.

I highly recommend Model Express, great people to do business with. Plus you don't have to wait weeks and weeks to get your stuff.

Hobby link japan has soem great stuff, might try to order some stuff there. Give it a shot.

I dont want steerable wheels, do the fujimi wheels accept a solid axle? I just want straight wheels that roll.

I've used Fujimi wheels on snap-together models using wire axles. They fit perfectly. They use rubber inserts that will accept a wire axle.
