The matorro metal wheels are about the same width. The Asiatam wheels are much thinner. Tankzone sell them in the UK - also try forgebear, militarymight and welshdragon

Good evening.

Now my curiosity is peaked once more...
The matorro metal wheels are about the same width. The Asiatam wheels are much thinner.
Any idea which one is most accurate to the real wheels?

I had to do the same when I fitted the Mato wheel's to the asiatam chassis - I ordered the replacement axles to suit, but I wasn't aware of their being any difference until I came to assemble them.

To answer your question David, I would have to assume that the Asiatam wheels are more accurate - the Mato wheel set is a direct replacement for (some of) the plastic toy wheels.
