Aoshima 20299 - 1/24 Excel 14 Inch Wheels and Tyres Tuned Parts Set  [AO-20299]

Excel 14 Inch wheels and tyre upgrade by Aoshima 20299 - 1/24

This 1/24 scale tuned parts set provides 14-inch Excel-style wheels and corresponding tyres to alter the exterior look of 1/24 vehicle models. It is intended for aftermarket visual upgrades on display and custom builds.

In real cars 14-inch rims were fitted to smaller road and sport-compact models where rim size and tyre profile balanced handling with ride quality. Excel-style rims are part of a period tuning vocabulary and are selected to change stance and visual proportions on a scaled model. Wheel diameter, width and offset were key variables that affected clearance and road behaviour.

As a scale accessory the focus is on appearance and proportion rather than mechanical accuracy. The parts are designed to replace stock wheels on compatible 1/24 kits; modellers should verify hub bore and offset against their chassis. Preparation steps typically include cleaning mould seams, priming, painting rim faces and barrels separately if needed, and dry-fitting tyres to ensure correct seating before final assembly.

A no-nonsense set of 14-inch style wheels and tyres to change the external proportions of 1/24 vehicle kits, useful for modellers focused on authentic period appearance.
