FAQ

Authentic Matte Metal Wheels for 1/14 Scale Rigs

Bring extra realism to your 1/14 scale tractor or semi by fitting Tamiya 56519 Metal Plated Wheels with a matte surface. The finish imitates industrial wheel metalwork and reduces shine for a more convincing scale impression.

Core Benefits

Matte Finish: Replicates the look of serviceable metal wheels rather than mirror shine.
Hex Hub Design: Secures the wheel to standard hex drive axles for stable running.
30mm Width: Intended for tyres specified at 30mm to achieve accurate fit and tracking.

Fitment Details

Tamiya 56519 wheels are intended for use on 3-axle trailers with single-axle 30mm wheels. Common fit examples include:

56319 3-Axle Reefer Semi-Trailer: Requires 2 sets of 56519 plus 1 set of 56520.
56326 40-Foot Container Semi-Trailer: Requires 3 sets of 56519.

Do these wheels need balancing for running models?

Most scale truck wheels like these do not require dynamic balancing, but ensure tyres are properly seated to avoid wobble.

Can I paint or weather these wheels?

Yes, the matte finish accepts light weathering or touch-up paint; use paints compatible with plated surfaces and test on a spare first.

Are extra sets needed for trailer conversions?

Depending on your conversion you may need multiple sets; follow the original trailer guidance such as 56326 needing three sets of 56519.
