Aoshima 20298 - 1/24 Polished 14 Inch Wheels and Tyres Tuned Parts

This 1/24 scale tuned parts set includes polished-style 14 inch wheel rims and matching tyres designed to upgrade the look of 1/24 vehicle kits and display models.

Historically, 14 inch rims were common on small and sport-oriented road cars, offering a compromise between comfort and tyre options. For hobbyists recreating period builds, bright metal-look rims were a popular visual enhancement on street and show cars.

Chassis matching and fit notes

The kit provides separate rim and tyre components sized for typical 1/24 chassis. The molded bright finish is intended to represent a chrome or polished metal surface; modellers should use paint or metal finish techniques to replicate that look. Always verify hub width and axle fit on the donor kit as some aftermarket parts may require light trimming or adapters for a precise fit.

Preparation and painting guidance

  • Wheels and tyres come as separate pieces so you can paint rims before assembly.
  • Primer and surface scuffing will help paint adhere to the glossy rim areas.
  • Tyre sidewalls carry texture; careful sanding can achieve a low-profile or worn appearance.
  • Test-fitting is recommended when using modified suspension or custom axles on the 1/24 chassis.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Item type: Wheels and tires tuned parts set
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Model parts requiring assembly

Aoshima 20298 offers a polished 14 inch wheel and tyre option for 1/24 projects, aimed at modellers focused on authentic tuned aesthetics for display builds.

Compatibility varies; many resin or aftermarket axles will work after minor adjustments, but check shaft diameter and hub fit before final assembly.
Use a smooth primer, followed by metallic base coat or chrome-effect paint and a clear gloss sealer for a convincing polished metal finish.
Yes, careful sanding or shaving of the tyre halves can reduce sidewall height to simulate a lower profile, but proceed slowly to maintain tread detail.
