They're doing a lot of really nice wheel sets, I really like all their stuff.

They just need to put a little more effort into getting more dealers.. and keeping those dealers stocked more often

Yikes might be a huge hit the pocket book for these....the DEF model Hummer Tires (4-5 Tires) are in the $15 range, the Styker tires (8-9 tires) are $30....so you can do the math on that! LOL

Does anyone have a set of DEF wheels yet? Any size difference between the kit wheel and resin (ie shrinkage)? I got the M60A1/A3 turret set and other M60 detail set and was a little disappointed with the noticeable shrinkage problem. Just curious if the tires have the same problem.

Jim,

I have their wheelset they did for the M1151 with Winmark models...I'll take a look, but I think shrinkage is something that gets worse as the amount of resin being used is increased...

DAMN!!! The kit itself costs $130.. I know they're 51 wheels, but that's just crazy.. paying another $98 just for wheels

I wish Trumpeter and Hobbyboss would start doing wheels the way Bronco did them in their M1114 kits.. or like Academy did them in their M1115 kit.. and just do away with these rubber wheels.
