Does the Blackdog kit no T35050 - Land Rover WMIK accessory kit include resin wheels as shown in the photo
Cokie
Yes but they have the wrong tread pattern on the tyres, and the ones in my set are misshaped they are more ovel than round.

Scott; I reckon you're right about the tread; looks like Goodyear's to me rather than the Michelin/Cooper tyres. Not sure if mine are oval can't say i've noticed but I shall be taking a good look later.

The reason I ask is because a supplier I use is selling the accessory kit for what I thought was a very good price. However I noticed that the photo they included shows the kit with the Hobby boss wheels. Unusual as all other photos I have seen of this update set show the replacement wheels

For the wheels, I definitely recommend the Legend sets.. I have both types and they are really nice.. and both of them come with a spare covered wheel.
If you're interested, Luckymodel is having a sale on one of the sets now.. great value.

No problem Jim happy to help.
Martyn, yes it is the Goodyear pattern on the tyres if you can find my WMIK build log you can see the ovel shape in the wheels I am going to replace them with the DEF or legend set.
