Period-style Type-3 14 Inch Wheels and Tyres for Static Builds

The Aoshima 20297 kit is a 1/24 scale set of Type-3 14-inch wheels and tyres offered as tuned parts for display-focused model cars. These aftermarket detail pieces are meant to change the exterior appearance and stance on suitable donor kits.

Historically, 14-inch wheels were often fitted to compact and older small cars where slimmer diameters and compact wheelarches were standard. Type-3 aftermarket designs capture that era with a shallow dish and narrow rim, keeping the overall look faithful to vintage tuning trends for small chassis.

Fitment tips and prep advice

These parts are made for 1/24 plastic vehicle kits that allow separate wheel and tyre installation. The Type-3 profile recreates the scaled proportions of smaller aftermarket rims and is intended for display use. Some kits will need minor hub or inner guard trimming. Standard model preparation like sanding, priming and paint will be needed for a showroom finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24

This wheel and tyre pack gives a true-to-period Type-3 14-inch look for 1/24 builds, useful for modders focused on exterior tuning and collectors wanting display-accurate options.

They arrive as separate wheel and tyre parts and may require minor trimming to fit certain 1/24 kits. Preparatory work like test-fitting and slight hub adjustment is common.
Yes, finishing is expected. Use model primers and paints to achieve the desired colour and texture for both rims and tyres before final assembly.
The Type-3 profile typically narrows apparent wheel width and lowers the visual profile. The exact stance change depends on tyre thickness, offset and the kit's axle spacing after fitting.
Basic modelling tools like hobby knives, sandpaper, files and tweezers are usually enough. For stubborn fits, a small rotary tool or careful reaming can help, used with caution.
