Pegasus Wheels

I'm about to make another order from Tower Hobbies. I'm ordering a Celica GT4 (tamiya), a PIAA Accord (tamiya), and a 30th Anniversary Camaro SS (revell). I'm also wanting to order wheels for the Celica and Camaro (a lot of Tamiya Sprays will also be included with this order). All that Tower Carries though is Pegasus and Hoppin' Hydros wheels. My Question is, do you all think that a set of these wheels is big enough for the 1/24 Celica? If not, where do you all get your wheels (hopefully it will be from somewhere in the US )

John,
You could also have a look at http://www.best1hobby.com
If I remember correctly they carry Fujimi wheels.
I thought Tower also carried the MRC line of wheels too though?

That 30th anniversary camaro has a combined rear and front windshield. It's possible to crack it while trying to put it in, in which case it's probably better to cut the excess glass that holds it in the middle, and assemble the front and rear separately. Also you should paint the body separate from the rear and front bumpers, and the wing. It's impossible to put the body down on the finished chassis unless the front and rear bumpers aren't there.

Camber, that is exactly what I was looking for. Those are the wheels I'm going to order for my Celica I think. That should look pretty good. Thanks a lot for the replies.

Nice order.
Remember that the 20" HH wheels are only the same size as the 19" ones you get from Aoshima...so dont get caught out thinking they are the biggest you can get.
They are 1/25 scale

Pman, 19's are fine with me. I like the look of them better. I changed my order. I'm getting the Celica, Accord, a Impreza STi, 4 sets of rims, and a BUNCH of various brand paints. Can't wait. Gotta go mail order though. Credit card is maxed out from this exact same thing, even though I give mom cash to pay the thing off when she orders for me. I'll just use a money order from now on. $160 order. That makes 550+ bucks of mine and 300 for Christmas to this site. Prefered Customer?? More like lets get more money from this guy.

Pman, I'm not new to the world of modeling. Been adicted since that Snaptite Ferrari when I was 5 or 6. Just new to prefered customers not getting any discounts other than $10 on an order over $125, even when regular customers get that same deal.
