Hi Gentlemen,
I'm looking for some similar rims to use it on a future project, but doesn't seem to succeed. The original rims are Honda rims and have 9 spokes:

The only that I found are the Aoshima Weds Sport SA-70 rims in 18" size, but they don't look too similar except for the number of spokes unfortunately:

Do any of you guys have some idea where can I find some similar rims? Any help is appreciated! :-)

Thanks for the answer, I definitely keep it in mind. It seems it's not that easy, so probably I won't have a better idea. I was suggested to use either of these:

I'm afraid they will be a bit oversized, so if anyone still have some good ideas, please let me know. Thank you!

Wow...The only thing those 2 rims have in common, is that you can attach a tire to them. lol Try to find the 1/24 scale Maisto diecast Scion xB. It has 9 spoke rims similar to the Honda ones there. Or judge for yourself.

Thanks for the tips guys!
I just found a set of 1/25 tires of an AMT Chrysler 300C in my spare box, so after ripping the chrome off them I"ll give them a try :-)

I have a set of wheels from an Aoshima Accord Wagon and they look spot on to that. Maybe a little small, though. I have the set at home, so no picture at the second but they come out of this kit: http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ03603
