I bought a couple wheel sets for the new Revell AMG GT. I really wanted the Plamoz wheels, but I really wanted the DIve Nine tires, since they have all the sidewall detail. Turns out you can't interchange the parts. I expected this, but was hoping otherwise. 

The Dive Nine tires are hard resin, while the Plamoz appear to be silicone, or a similar material. Bother are great quality, but the Plamoz wheels are the cleanest castings I have ever seen. 

Both sets are staggered 19" front and 20" rear in 1/24. Despite this, they are significantly different in size. Plamoz does offer a 20/21" staggered set in a different style, which should be right around the size of the Dive Nine set. 

The Plamoz wheels are the light gray, the Dive Nine are the dark wheels. 
 

If you want bigger, fatter wheels and tires and don't mind hard resin tires, go with the Dive Nine set. If you want the cleanest castings and rubbery tires, go with the Plamoz set. Both are great detial, but the Dive Nine will require a little cleanup, while the Plamoz require none.

This picture is a little off. The difference between the wheel and tire size seems ot be exaggerated, it's not as obvious in person

I'd love to get different wheels for my 918 with that same stagger but both Plamoz and Dive 9 offer the same wheels. 

Thanks for posting.
