1:24 19 inch OZ Racing Magnesio 19

OZ Racing Magnesio wheels with a 19 inch diameter in 1:24 scale

An add-on wheel set for car models in 1:24 scale. The subject is a wheel of the Italian brand OZ Racing under the name Magnesio in the version with a 19 inch diameter. The large diameter is typical of modern road and sports cars, where the wheel fills almost the whole wheel arch and shows on the model more than it does with older subjects.

About the brand and the pattern

OZ Racing is an Italian wheel maker whose products appear on racing cars as well as production cars. The wheels are exactly where you can tell whether a model matches a particular version of the car or only what would fit into the kit. An injection-molded plastic wheel tends to be soft in shape and its spokes are thicker than they should be; a set with a faithful pattern removes that shortcoming and transforms the look of the car without your touching the bodywork.

Fitting to the model

• Fit the wheel dry first and check that the axle stub matches the hole in the hub.
• Open the hole up carefully as needed so that the wheel sits square and does not rub anywhere.
• Check that the large diameter fits into the wheel arch and that the track width matches.
• Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the remainder down.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface.
• Set the wheels so that all four sit evenly on the base.

Terms of supply

This is an add-on wheel set, not a model of the car. The car kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
