Altezza type wheels?

I am looking for SSR GT1 1/24 rims to recreate my own car (1995 300X TT). These are apparently not available but the ones on several Fujumi Altezza kits look pretty close (see pic) -- 5 split spoke with an concave center. Does anyone know where I can get a set of these rims without having to buy an Altezza kit?

Thanks,

Tim

Where are you in the world, and do you know who your Fujimi distributor is?

Those are the stock Altezza/IS200/IS300 wheels, IIRC. Best bet would be to order an extra set from Fujimi, if you can track them down.

Sounds good to me.

Find somebody who has that kit, and find out the part number of the wheels. Tell Fujimi that your kit didn't come with wheels and...well...you know the rest .

If in the odd occasion that somebody from Fujimi does read this, do not take it seriously.


To everybody else...ORDER AWAY!!! :finger:

Thanks for all the advice, everyone.

I am in the US -- didn't think of contacting Fujimi directly but I will try that. I wouldn't want to mislead them but if they would sell me the wheels separately...

Someone here may have an extra set for sale, or I can always just buy the Altezza kit.

Oop!!! Guys, Fujimi is a family bussiness and they don't speak english. Is written on the manager namecard. It's written as "I am very sorry. I do not speak english" :finger:

I read it and got that the first time

Thats why I said: 'Someone here may have an extra set for sale'

I have contacted them but have not heard back yet. Tend to count my chickens after they hatch.

My previous message was primarily a response and thank you to everyone who gave me advice on it.

Yep, I just checked and sent you another message.

Jason does have a set of the wheels he is willing to send me. Thanks!

I am a member in several online user goups/forums etc. I have to say that this is the most generous, knowledgeable community I've ever seen.

As someone who is just getting back into modeling after a few decades off, I really appreciate it.
