Question about wheels.....

One thing I cant stand about the wheels in Fujimi kits is that they are usually too small and the tires are too big(tire profile) and disproportionate, its the same way whem you buy fujimi wheels seperately......

My question is, do the Aoshima wheels come with lower profile sidwalls?

Yeah I got screwed by Fujimi's box art, the wheels on the box looked like positive offset five spokes, but in the box the wheels had HUUUUGE negative offset

I was very pissed
