1/24 scale Rim and Tire Combo

Modeling Subjects Autos

In process of building the Revell Germany 2011 Mike Rockenfeller DTM car and the rims and tires with this model are a bit lacking, searching the net I’ve found various types of rims etc… but I don’t know what I’m doing and before I spend money on what I think is the right stuff figured I would ask…

I’ve seen 1/24 scale rims on various websites but they all have no tires, sooooo… off I go looking for tires and I find alot of those but how do I ensure that I have the correct rim/tire package?? It doesn’t appear that I can match up a set of rims and tires for certain cause I cannot find a 1/24 scale kit that contains the rims and tires. Respectfully request a learning on how to figure out the aftermarket rim/tire world for a 1/24 scale DTM car.

Thank you

I admit to knowing nothing about the tires used in DTM, but Ma’s Resin: public.fotki.com/…/radials

offers a number of “modern” low profile radial tires with excellent detail. Some of them might work for you.

Those Ma’s Resin tires shown are really aoshima model kits tires. Many of the low pro file styles show were sold through a company called American SATCO. Some still sale on Ebay.

An there’s alot of folks out there copying them and using that sorry Micro Mark TCR-40 Tire Rubber. So look close at the shine on the rubber and if it’s that MM TCR rubber pass on them. “American SATCO” tires don’t have a shine to them. Don’t get suckered and buy cheap copys. An no I’m not stating the Ma’S Resin tires are cheap copys but just look out when buying tires of a particular type of product.

Hello!

Fujimi used to sell 1/24 wheels with rubber tires - maybe they would work for you. Hope it helps, have a nice day

Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

I looked up those Fujimi sets and think I may have found something that will work.

And boy I ALWAYS forget about E-Bay, once I hit the ebay link and saw all those rims and tire’s, it just looked a lot less confusing.

Whatever 1/24 scale 18 inch tire equates to is the slick tire I would need and some sort of center lock rim to match the tire size.

In real life I know they are staggered but for this project it works…
