The brand new line of accessories in photo-etching and resin for both the GT and DTM rims can be bought soon from retail shops.
 The photo-etching accessories are available in three types: BBS, Speedline and OZ; each type is available in four colors: white, gold, silver and metallic black; and if you prefer all items are also available not painted. It’s also available the brake discs (painted or not painted) for GT and DTM rims. The exclusivity of our BBS and Speedline photo-etchings is made by the central padding. The result is even more realistic. The drilled centre on these photo-etchings helps the wheel axle to get through when too long, avoiding any further cutting.   OZ rims are made in two parts: the photo-etching and the the turned aluminum nut.  The resin hubs for classic cars: being this type of tyres quite elaborate, the use of the resin (even if heavier) help us to work in more detail. Are available the tyres for four car models: Ferrari: gold or not painted.  Lola: dark metallic grey or not painted  Porsche: black, gold or not painted  Chevron: metallic grey or not painted:  A set includes four tyres ( two front and two back) and four nuts. The break discs are sold separately. All the models are also available with the rim, photo-etchings or resin coloured accessories or in a kit. After this summer will be able to offer the GT rims with the wheels already glued and turned. The very first two products of our future complete line of adhesive and cleaning products “chemical” are now available:  PRS 32233: Detergent liquid for tyres: It has been created specifically to clean our tyres; it evaporates in few seconds and doesn’t leave the tread of the tyre greasy.  PRS 32234: Cianoacrylic glue: to glue the tyre to the 480 rim model. Please download the complete list of PRS products. For further information: tommaso.melioli@libero.it or info@shmr.it |

They look great Tommaso!
I bought some of the PRS classic wheels a few months back and was very impressed with the quality. Real slot car jewellery, great stuff! JS

WHOA!! Sweet! Really nice detail there. Stupid questions cometh:
1 - So the wheels or the inserts are actually resin? And detail parts/discs are PE. The actual wheels look aluminum. 2 - Do the two sizes mean that these are for 1/32 AND 1/24 or is that just larger for the rear wheels? (I know dumb question). Sorry for being dense. -M -------------------- - Long Live MCPL racing!

Hi,
we produce racing wheels for slot cars in 1/32 scale made of ergal; we have two different size for GT cars and for DTM cars front and back. The BBS, Speedline and OZ hubs are in photoetched while the hubs for the classic cars are made of resin; all the hubs are in two size for the GT rims and for DTM rims. For other questions ask me... Regards Tommaso Melioli |

Hi,
unfortunatly i don't know the correct word in english  ...Ergal is a metal composit; it's lighter and more resistant then aluminium. Tommaso Melioli |

Thank you for the reply Thommaso. The wheels look very good. How widespread in Britain will the retail outlets be?

Tommaso, your workmanship is simply outstanding!
I have a number of your superb wheel sets and your resin and reliveried cars are fantastic! I had all your excellent McLaren F1 GTRs.... but your F50GT was my favourite:-   PS: I put my own scratchbuilt chassis under it...  Kind regards, Russell -------------------- |

The PSR wheels looks great.
I have been looking at the GT and DTM range and so far I understand that the smal size is 15,8 mm and the large are 17,25 mm in diameter. Front rims are 8,2 mm wide and rear rims are 10,2 mm wide. The rims are also listed for 3/32 axles, but as many knows there are different tolerances for every manufactorer, so I am interessted to know wich 3/32 axles that are the best fit for these wheels (slot.it, MB-Slot, SCX Pro, etc...)? Then I wold like to know wich Ortman, SuperTires (ppr), NSR or Slot.it silicone, that will fit either the small and/or big rear hubs (15,8 or 17,25 x 10,2). All info is higly appriciated, since I am about to order parts for my first proxy-cars

The detail looks simply outstanding.
If these wheels are compatible with the widely available tyre brands, then I think you are onto a winner! UK distributor prepare to be inundated! What price will these retail at? cheers John |

Hello Everyone –
Finally – a great set of BBS & OZ metal wheels... I love Slot.it cars, but the wheels on the new McLaren don't look good – in my opinion. But, these could spruce up alot of my modern GT and LMP cars, and possibly improve performance... GREAT! Please let us know where we can get these ASAP... I would purchase at least a dozen 4-wheel sets! Regards! Mike Talley |
