Whether you're racing, restoring, or customizing your GT24 Subaru, this wheel and tyre set delivers both visual authenticity and functional grip across carpet, asphalt, and light off-road surfaces. If you're looking for ready-to-fit RC car upgrades in the UK that require no modification or assembly, this is the solution you've been searching for.
Featuring a striking bronze rally-style finish and pre-mounted rubber compound tyres, the CA16433 set comes as a complete four-wheel package that integrates seamlessly into the GT24 platform without any need for gluing, balancing, or adjustment. This makes it ideal for competitive racers who need to swap wheels quickly between events, as well as hobbyists and collectors who want their micro RC models to look authentic and perform reliably. The brushless RC community has long appreciated Carisma's attention to detail and quality manufacturing, and this wheel set exemplifies that commitment.
With a confirmed 33mm outer diameter and 13mm tread width, the Carisma CA16433 bronze rally wheels for 1/24 micro RC offer a balanced footprint that supports stable cornering and responsive acceleration. The injection-moulded rims are lightweight yet durable, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap, whilst the rubber compound tyres provide excellent grip on multiple surfaces. Each wheel is pre-mounted and ready to install, saving you valuable setup time and eliminating the complexity often associated with micro RC car maintenance.
Key Features
- Pre-mounted Tyres — The tyres come factory-bonded to the injection-moulded rims, eliminating the need for gluing or balancing and allowing you to swap wheels in seconds during races or tuning sessions.
- Bronze Rally-Style Finish — The distinctive bronze colour matches genuine GT24 Subaru styling perfectly, delivering scale realism and visual authenticity that enhances the overall appearance of your micro RC model.
- Rubber Compound Tyres — Engineered specifically for grip on carpet, asphalt, and light off-road terrain, these tyres provide the traction needed for competitive performance across multiple racing environments.
- Injection-Moulded Rims — Lightweight yet durable construction ensures responsive steering and acceleration whilst maintaining structural integrity through repeated use and impacts.
- OEM Compatibility — The wheels fit the entire GT24 platform (including the Subaru Impreza STI 2006, Toyota AE86 H2 Concept, GT24RS, and GT24R models) without any modification or additional parts required.
- Symmetrical Offset Profile — The wheels feature a balanced offset that preserves drivetrain alignment and steering geometry, maintaining the precise handling characteristics of your GT24 chassis.
- Standard Micro Hex Fitment — The wheels integrate seamlessly with the standard micro hex hub size used across the GT24 platform, ensuring compatibility with all models in the range.
- 33mm Diameter Specification — This size provides accurate 1/24-scale proportions while delivering optimal ground clearance and performance for indoor track racing and outdoor micro rally events.

Technical Performance
The Carisma CA16433 represents precision engineering at the 1/24 micro scale, combining carefully selected materials with meticulous manufacturing standards. Each wheel comprises an injection-moulded plastic rim paired with a rubber compound tyre that has been engineered to deliver predictable grip across varying track surfaces. The outer diameter of 33mm has been confirmed to provide accurate scale representation whilst maintaining the ground clearance required for competitive micro rally performance. The tread width of 13mm ensures that grip levels remain consistent during aggressive cornering whilst supporting the rapid acceleration expected in competitive micro RC racing environments. The approximate rim weight of 2.5 grams per wheel keeps unsprung mass to a minimum, allowing the GT24 chassis to respond immediately to throttle inputs and steering commands. The symmetrical offset and standard micro hex fitment (approximately 0.4cm) mean that these wheels integrate perfectly with the GT24 platform's suspension geometry and steering linkage, preserving the factory handling balance that makes these micro rally cars so enjoyable to drive. The inner rim diameter is approximately 2.0cm, maintaining the proportional tyre-to-rim ratio that ensures consistent performance and authentic visual presentation. Pre-mounting means that every wheel receives factory quality control inspection before it leaves Carisma's manufacturing facility, guaranteeing that you receive wheels with uniform grip, no glue residue, and perfectly balanced weight distribution. This level of quality control is particularly important in micro RC racing, where even small inconsistencies can affect lap times and handling predictability.
