Got a few questions,
Which is better, Aoshima's or Fujimi's RS Wanabe rims????
How many inches is the Aoshima rim?
and, Is the Aoshima rims the same size, or is the rear wider?

I have the Watanabe from Fujimi. They look very real and size is quite actual. Fujimi ones are more deep-dish . For the Aoshima Watanabe, I am not sure as I dont have it, but from the pics from http://www1999.co.jp , it seems it doesn't look very real than Fujimi.
But for other rims, I personally think Aoshima are the best maker of 17-19" rims. :ylsuper

To me, the Fujimi rims are very accurate in size and shape, and they are offer in different sizes as listed on hlj.com.
The Aoshima, however, are more like Panasport rims because of its center hub.

But the Aoshima version do look some what like the F8F type of RS Watanabe rims, while the Fujimi looks like the A and B Type.

No, I got the Midnight version which is a total rip off!!!!! When I saw Moto-P's car I wanted to make a copy of it, then this version came out, I looked at the pics and thought it came with the TRD rear hatch spoiler (I guess I didn't look at the pic good enough) so no scratch building would be involved. But when I got it, it had the same exact parts as the regular kit, except, additional decals and those TE37's. As fot the box, it had different rims from what it came with, but I'm happy:) with the rims since it's the correct rims!
