The site is in German.
Hobby Design has a few 1/18 rims. Transkits(resin) resin detail set - Hobby Design
GMP has accessories for 1/18. They are sold through Acme Diecast. https://www.acmediecast.com/products...%20Tire%20Sets
Ebay is your other option.
Most of these after market rims are resin will need painting.
Good luck

One model's Excellent DC2 ITR finally in my hands today........ beautifully painted model and perfect panel lines.
wonderful build quality. Beautiful, flawless Champion white paint. nicely detailed with photo etched parts - emblems, and disc brakes to note.
Interior is superb. Red recaros texture looks pretty convincing.
only two complaints:
1) the roofline is a tad off. something about the rear side window shape is a tad off from the real car. you really have to know your integras to spot it (i've owned 3.......)
2) the tail lights - they replicate an early 96' spec ITR (the yellow / amber rear turn signals) , but the rest of the car is 98'+ spec (rear bumper, smaller headlamp HID projectors, Airbag momo steering wheel and 5 lug/ 98' spec wheel)
A very nice model. The car is pretty accurate to the real one, i'd say 95%. A high quality model and a must for any Hardcore Honda fan.
I've always hoped Autoart to release a DC2 R for years........... but they never did. One model came out with a prime example of a 1/18 scale ITR that us Honda fan boys have been waiting forever.... and this model was well worth the wait. (feeling kind of emotional for receiving this model actually)
Will definitely be ordering a Spoon version of the same car in yellow.
Thank you pacman for yet another hassle free transaction, and a deep step into my memory lane!

I've got all the IG NSX models and I think this one just looks a bit more unusual than the others due to the red and white contrast. I kinda wish the wheels weren't quite so "tucked" though, they need spacers hahaha
Be interesting to see the 1:43 ones when they come out in a few months.

Be interesting to see the 1:43 ones when they come out in a few months. | The IG 1:43 NSX's won't be cheap...IG will be releasing a white and black version. Only 150 pcs each. MSRP is around $240.00 USD each. So an arm and a leg in Canadian dollars. Quite expensive for a 1:43 scale IMO. For that price you might as well get a 1/18 scale from One Model, or AutoArt. The other option is Frontiart or Top Speed for the new NSX. Just my thoughts.

I have preorders on 4 different 1:43 IG NSX's actually... 2 white, 1 black and 1 red... The preorders were priced at about $160cdn a piece, which is pretty crazy for 1:43, but not $240usd crazy  | |

Thanks for the heads up 68!

The Ignition NSX looks SUPER NICE but super $$$$$$$$
I want to get back in the game and buy a NSX model, but I'm limited by space and $$$
I might just go and get a 1:43 Ebbro model. Everything else is too $$$$ nowadays

When you find the Magnus Walker and Odyssey in a dump bin together...  . Surprisingly found the BMW K1300R. Also, went to check out the central Walmart in Richmond, full pegs but the cards were either bent or nearly destroyed. It looked like most of them went through the washer and they dried them back out.

I was pretty excited for the Honda Monkey as well as the Roller Toaster (if you push down the lever the toast goes down) and the Gotta Go (the back of the pick up is a toilet seat).

What type of vehicles do you collect Akord?
