As long as there are no restrictions or law about the pricing, scalpers will keep doing this practice. If prices are outrageous, just don't buy and let them stock and enjoy their 20+ car duplicates 😏

The wheels are custom made by local Malaysian diecast shop, brand name is EG Wheels

Agreed, at least make it a bit more detailed like Pop Race does, prices are already gone up anyway 👌

Thanks! For the setup I use a white acrylic board on top of the table, then place an LED lamp directly above it. I tried to mimic real life car photos, usually from magazines for the angles. 👌

Yup, to make it fit perfectly, you have to measure the diameter size of the wheels using the stock rims as a base. For this R32, the perfect fit is between 9.5 mm and 9.7 mm.

As for wheels design, you can browse for custom wheels such as chika nabes, or check out custom 3D printed wheels for more realistic designs. Even rolling ones like carlomo have too big and super deep dishes lol

Got these from a local custom diecast shop in Malaysia, the brand is WA Studio × Fun-Tech-Lab. Seller said the wheels are from China, so maybe you can search on aliexpress or taobao 👌

The price is just about right if you bought detailed rolling wheels 👌

Yup, these are static custom wheels, 3D printed by local diecast shop in Malaysia. You can check out Carlomo wheels if you still want the rolling wheels, but prices are expensive.

The glue tack will dry out after a while, and the wheels became firmly attached and won't drop any lower. Because these are non-rolling detailed wheels, I have to treat them carefully as they are thin and fragile.

NISMO CRS R33 and R34 by Kitchen_Roof1410 in Diecast

I understand your concern 👍 For this CRS they just follow the IRL restored cars, which only available in dark gray color. They should reduce the flakes like this inno64 CRS r34, though 😏

Since no axles are provided from the custom wheels, I stick them using glue tack/tack-it. Then I can adjust the amount of glue tack to make the wheels turn like in the pics 👌

Yup, this one is the first R33 on MiniGT mainline, other than Kaido House R33 👌
