Aoshima 20297 - 1/24 Type-3 14-inch wheels and tires tuned parts  [AO-20297]

Aoshima Type-3 14 Inch Wheels and Tires Tuned Parts #78

This product is a 1/24 scale set of Type-3 14-inch wheels and tires supplied as tuned parts for display-focused vehicle models. It is positioned as aftermarket detailing components intended to change exterior appearance and stance on compatible kits.

The use of 14-inch wheels has been common on compact and early-generation small cars in Japan and elsewhere, particularly on models where tighter wheel arches and smaller overall diameter were standard. Aftermarket Type-3 designs derived from period tuning practices emphasize a shallow dish and narrow rim width to fit vintage compact chassis while producing a low-profile visual effect for modified cars.

Model details and builder notes

The parts set targets 1/24 scale plastic vehicle kits that accept separate wheel and tyre components. The Type-3 profile reproduces the visual proportions of smaller-diameter aftermarket wheels and is intended for static display. Fitment may require minor adjustment to axle hubs or inner fenders depending on the donor kit. Surface preparation and painting will be necessary where finish is desired; adhesives and hobby paints are typical tools for installation.

This wheel and tyre set provides a period-appropriate Type-3 14-inch look for 1/24 scale vehicle builds. It is relevant to builders focused on exterior tuning and collectors seeking display-accurate wheel options.
