Alfa Romeo 8c wheels

I have been asked to give my opinion on some wheels made for an Italeri Alfa Romeo 8c Roadster by Nick Edwards. I’ve not even started the model yet but putting these wheels together has been a joy compared to me re-spoking the wheels recently on my Airfix Bentley build. To start with, Nick has printed some guides at the back of the rim to show where each set of spokes should start. I still consider myself as a novice in making models however, the instructions are clear and easy to understand. Never having seen a 3D printed object up close I’m staggered just how accurate they are. Everything is supplied in the kit from wire for the spokes to the rim nipples and even the air valves. There is even a little tool for pushing the rim nipples in place. There are plenty of extra parts in the kit. I wish Nick had started making these parts for the Airfix Bentley Before I’d actually started mine.
