I was just wondering if the Ausf. A model had steel-rimmed or rubber-rimmed roadwheels. I assume it was rubber since i read somewhere that the steel was only trial-tested on the G model.. help!

Hi kaiser. yes you are correct. Ausf A 's only had the rubber wheel rims.
However, they did increase the wheeel rim bolts to 24 from the 16 as
used on the Ausf D wheel rim's.
