Wheel Help

[drunken monkey]

Hello all,
I'm in the planning stages of a little build and am looking for suitable/similar wheels for it.
Are there any individual wheel kits (a la fujimi) that are close to them or perhaps wheels from a particular kit?
The fronts are supposed to be 16" and the rears 17" But I guess matching set of either would do.










My preference is for the last two designs.

Thanks.


edit: while I'm at it, I can't for the life of me find where the fuel filler is on a ferrari 308, let alone a photo of it.
Can anyone help with this as well?

About the Ferrari: The fuel cap is located behind the left side of the passenger compartment, and you reach it by opening the louvered, hinged portion behind the window. Here's a cutaway of a 328 for reference:

Okay, I found a source for your wheels. It's on EvilBay:

There are two available; the other is black.
--Having spent the last night at work researching this stuff, I have to wonder what you're building. An oldschool Europa or Elan with newer Lotus accessories, perhaps?

Hey, thanks for both of these posts.

For the ferrari, I knew where the fuel tank(s) were but could never find a picture of how the the fuel filler neck was placed so that cut-away diagram is perfect.

As for what I'm building.
Well, you're looking at it....

I've got one of those die-casts already (if that's the Welly car) and the wheels aren't great. I've got it in mind to make a cast of them anyway to see what comes out but I still would prefer the super light Lotus options wheels (the last design).

Thanks again.

I've noticed that the Fujimi EP3 Civic Type-R kit has a set of 7 spoke wheels that might be similar enough to the lotus wheels that i'm after that could be trimmed and sanded to match. Has anyone built this kit or otherwise have a decent picture of them?
