Yes, I did see them yesterday. They started shipping last week. There's an ad in the latest Scale Auto magazine for them too. They will be set up at the NNL East in New Jersey in March, if you want to go to a huge model show and see them there. They are also going to be available in hobby shops.

They are 17's, they are pretty much the same size as the Integra rims, the tire height and width is very slightly larger that the Revell ITR pieces.

They are very nicely detailed, and come with a bunch of brake rotors and parts so they will easily adapt to a whole slew of models by different manufacturers. They have Tamiya-style posts molded to them, which can be easily trimmed off to accept Fujimi/Aoshima style mounts.

Tread detail is very cool.

While I'm not wild about 17's, they will work on a lot of models, and they are definitely a lot nicer than Pegasus and Hoppin' Hydros, basically they're of Aoshima/Fujimi quality.

They are doing 18's next. I've been told they will be the same designs as the 17's, but I can't be sure of that since it wasn't heard from XS Tuning. And with Revell's announcement of an Escalade, and the fact that one of the principles of XS Tuning is a former Revell/Accurate Miniatures executive, I'd say we'll see 23's from them in the future.

The dangers of letting Veyron post from my computer when he visited this weekend...this last one about the wheels was from me, but I handn't signed in under my name again. Let's hope I'm ZoomZooming again

Hey, not a bad trick!

I sign in and Veyron tosses his cookies! :finger:

Yep, I had a little help from the Keebler elves. All is right with the world again.
