Ken Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Which of the Aoshima wheels sets are two piece. Every place that I have looked does not list whether the wheels are two piece or not. It is much easier to paint the spokes that way. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 That's a tough one Ken. I don't have a list, but here is what I know are two piece VIP Stich Dish Racing Hart type CR Bersaglio Spoke II Junction Produce SCARA Japan 19 VIP Amistad Rotino VIP Kranze Borphes VIP Kranze LXZ VIP Fabulous Profund Wald Duchatelet I noticed on HLJ that their are some new Aoshima wheels coming out in September. I've pre-ordered mine already and know they will sell out. I have a feeling of the four sets coming out at least two of them appear to be two piece. Maybe everyone who has any Aoshima rims can add to the list and we can get a nice two piece list started. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have a pretty decent collection of Aoshima rims. I'll compile of list of mine when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works real good for masking wheels. I masked these with M-M Liquid Mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I noticed on HLJ that their are some new Aoshima wheels coming out in September. I've pre-ordered mine already and know they will sell out. I have a feeling of the four sets coming out at least two of them appear to be two piece. Chris I found pics of 3 of the 4 sets (all but the 16" Daytona rims). They're VIP wheels, only one (Fabulous Velis) looks suitable for a separate trim ring, not sure if it will or not. http://hobbyworld.aoshima-bk.co.jp/scripts...kue.aspx?mk=118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for the great list marc I have saved it for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Bob, I must have looked online for hours for pics of those wheels. I preordered two sets of the Velis as it looks like a really cool wheel and one each of the others with exception to the 16" Daytona wheel. Really would like to see it before I order it. Thanks for the link! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I preordered two sets of the Velis as it looks like a really cool wheel..... Chris I preordered two sets myself. Isn't there a thread on the "Rants" page about wheel fetishes? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
