Just like every Fujimi Kit....

I'm a fan of IS300.. I think I will have to get one of those.. Will wait for other "variant" of this kit..

[D_LaMz]

i need to get this!

[nugundam93]

+1 on having small-looking wheels.

[MidMazar]

i need it, but i have too many in progress.

Not to be argumentative, but they don't look small to me. I think that us modelers have a warped sense of wheel size, to be honest. I think the car just doesn't come with 20's from the factory is all.

Looks really nice, I need to get one. When is the release date?

[M1CRO]

Very nice finish ..And personally the wheels are just fine..I think that all too often builds get modified to create some kind of custom "RidE" which suits a certain generation. Theres really nothing wrong with the classic "Normal" look too :P


Just my opinion.

Very nice build.

Yeah it looks clean stock as a rock
still.... wouln't complain if it was black, dubbed out with 20's...

I saw one in traffic with wheels that look like those this morning..not sure what size they are in 1:1 (the base wheel is 16 or 17 inch?), but to me they do look underscale in these photos of the model--look smaller than 16--more like 14s, IMHO.

I agree with Willimo, the wheelsize looks perfect IMO. Even if they aren't as big as the stock wheels on the 1:1.

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

Comparing pics of the 1:1 and the kit, the wheels do look undersized even if it's just an illusion. Somehow I think Fujimi's pulling another fast one, making both kits with 17's and marketing the IS 350 as if it has 18's.

There's only one way to find out, when the kit comes out someone can take calipers to the wheels and tell us what diameter they are. If they are correct in diameter, they'll be about .80' - .82" in diameter, if they're really 17's masquerading as 18's then they'll be about .75" diameter.

Fujimi calls the Lamborghini Gallardo Sportecs 19", but they scale out as 18's Glad I didn't buy any. Nothing worse than undersized wheels.

Have to get one of those now.
