Touring car wheel set identification - can you help?

[futureworks 864]

Hi everyone

Does anyone recognise the wheel on the chassis in two of the images? They look to me like the ones that come with the TA04-TRF kit, which are part #53453 Medium-Narrow 6-Spoke Wheels (middle pic) but are shown on the other two images on a TA03R-TRF, which has 26mm width tyres, yet the 53453 is a 24mm wheel, so I would have thought it would not be wide enough for the tyre.....but maybe I’m wrong?

How can it be not wide enough? Its only 1mm on each side.

 

if you look close you can see on the first picture how the side walls are tucked in a little bit. These are for sure 24mm rims with 26mm tires

Thanks 👍. I knew it was probably a stupid question, but wasn’t sure 🤪

@futureworks - You are correct, the rims you asked about are Tamiya 53453 +2 offset. I raced with these on my TT-02R Audi R8 LMS in the 2018 Tamiya Championship finals in SoCal with Tamiya Type-B3 24mm tires and Tamiya 53250 Touring car shaped inserts soft. I can measure the width of the rims if you like (note medium-narrow on the package). Nice rims, the +2mm offset helped, definitely race worthy, more so than the driver... Lol.

the grey version came with the ta06 Pro

@svenb - The plot thickens! It's amazing how many parts bin grabs the factory does, seems like a rabbit hole.

Grey version wheel (10445976 Wheel x2) also looks to also have been supplied on... (there might be additional kits). Tamiya obviously used the grey (10445976) photo for the TB04 Parts catalog as 53453.
