4 dNaNos at the filling station

You know the Tagu Artemis wheels? They are the best alloy representation's of the Countach's stock wheels and that's what we need for the Dnano.
I doubt just drilling four holes into those Dnano dish wheels would suffice!

Yes I have a set of these but they are not on my Countach (the Z version). They are way too big and the Countach looks odd with these.

Maybe 5 holes at the correct scale on deep dishes would do.

I don't know, the best would be to convert the ASC wheels for use with the chassis. I tried once with no success. It is doable but you need some kind of high precision guided drill and the center hole needs to be exactly positionned.
Then again you would be stuck with the ASC tires.

I've had those Artemis on my Countach and I thought they looked great! They were the best looking aluminum wheels to put on the Countach. Not sure why you thought they were too big, my car was sweet, handled well too. My only issue was I had ordered the incorrect offset for the fronts and it rubbed on the fenders a bit, had to sand down the fenders to prevent the rubbing. Still, worked very well and looked great on the track too!
If I ever get another Mini-Z Countach, I'd get the same set of wheels too.

Well the diameter is offscale. They are almost double the size, it kills all the realism My Artemis are on a Murcielago.

Thank's for the cool pics! I see what you mean. Still, I like'em and that's what we need for the Dnano version. Hopefully more scale diameter than the Z's version.

Just by curiosity, you didn't get Tagu's inch-up wheels when they were available did you? Those do look bigger in diameter than the ones I had on my black Countach. Unless maybe the color effected appearance?

Of course I like them too, but they go better on my Murcielago wich is a bigger car with longer WB.
I bought the Tagu Artemis when they first came out back in... 2004? At that time they were intended for the Diablo wich I also had. The first release of Artemis were 21mm in diameter. Don't know about the new ones.

I think the ones I got last year were smaller diameter. Sounds like you got their inch-up ones.
