I can't see your first pic sorry.
Are you sure they are different ?
you have to look at front rim on tamiya model, rear one is different for sure, but front one really seems exactly like your reference pic in previous post (of course except the central hub - originaly motorized model).
but I'm not the specialist like you seem to be...

[rallymaster]

No, I'm not insisting but...
(I'm really interesting in knowing if these rims can match as I could need this solution too)

Oh yes thanks I see the pic now.
Mmm tamiya rim is partialy wrong as it's neither the first one nor the second one !!
I checked the rim in my Tamiya box in fact it's close to your last pic, but hub edge is too large on tamiya rim.
sure it's not the perfect match for you first linked pic, but if you reduce a bit the hub edge, enlarging space hole between spokes as it has to be, and fill the hub to erase its edge, you should get something matching your targeted rim.
but it's only my

Kimmo, I am paying to have the Gr.4 Minilites designed, 3d printed then resin cast. If you are willing to pay the costs I am sure Fireball Modelworks would be happy to make them.

The wheel in Mk1's picture is correct. AFX: please note the detail in the centre area, the holes for the bolts never cut in to the spokes like that.

I am designing a tarmac wheel which is very different from the gravel wheel.
