1:24 Toyota GR Supra A90 Volk Racing Rays TE37-SL Rims for Tamiya #24351 #24371

Six spokes everyone knows

The Japanese maker Rays made its Volk Racing line famous with a simple but unmistakable shape: six straight spokes which run out from the center to the edge without a single ornament. The lightened variant with the Super Lap epithet goes further still and takes material away where the wheel does not need it. This pattern is among the most frequently seen on modified Japanese cars and the set converts it to scale.

The Supra of the A90 generation

The return of the Supra name after a long pause caused a stir among admirers of the make. The car received an inline six-cylinder engine, a short wheelbase and a low silhouette with strongly shaped rear fenders, a shape that directly calls for wheels with a deep dish. That is exactly why, with models of this Toyota, changing the production wheels suggests itself as the first modification.

Before you fit the wheels

Check whether the hub aligns with the axle in the kit and carefully remove any surplus while the parts are unpainted. Choose the color according to the overall tuning of the car: dark bronze or anthracite looks more natural on a modified Supra than light silver. The valve and the center cap need only be suggested with a dot of paint, because at this scale the eye will not make more detail out anyway. Once they are fitted, line all four wheels up in the same plane, otherwise the model visibly limps in a display case.

The set also suits anyone building this car in a street version without racing accessories. A lightened disc appears commonly on this body and goes just as well with a civilian form as with a circuit version full of aerodynamic items.
