This Aoshima 20297 item is a 1/24 scale Type-3 14-inch wheel and tyre collection provided as tuned parts for display-focused vehicle models. They serve as aftermarket detailing pieces to alter the exterior look and stance on compatible kits.
Smaller 14-inch wheels were a common choice on compact and early small cars, where narrower diameters and snug arches were typical. The Type-3 aftermarket approach re-creates a shallow dish with narrow rims, reflecting period tuning tastes and keeping proportions suitable for vintage compact model chassis.
Designed for 1/24 plastic vehicle kits that take separate wheels and tyres, the Type-3 profile mimics the scaled proportions of smaller aftermarket rims and is intended for non-running display models. Minor trimming of hubs or inner wings may be necessary depending on the donor kit. Builders often use basic surface prep, masking and hobby paints to finish the parts before installation.
This wheel and tyre pack brings an authentic Type-3 14-inch aesthetic to 1/24 builds, appealing to modellers focused on exterior tuning and collectors seeking display-accurate wheel options.
