Porsche wheels

Hello.
Does anyone know if there is any 1/24 Porsche kit that contains the type of wheel in the pic below (or anywhere else I can find a set)
I know it was used on 911's (964) between -89 and -95 something..

The Porsche Cup 17" Wheel:


I could also use the 911 turbo wheel:


Any hints are helpful.
Thanks.

Nah, the 959 had very specific wheels. I think fujimi made a porsche of the very same type, and with those wheels. Or did it come with the 'flat' wheels (kinda look like the ones on 928's)

Probably Fujimi Porsche Carrera Evolution 2 contains this type of wheel.
What about this: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?FUJ12450

For the Cup wheels maybe use the Fujimi 964 kit:
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ht=porsche+911

Maybe the 968 wheels could work
http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?HSGCA12

For the Turbo or "twist" wheels doesn't the Tamiya 996 have perfect replica's??
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~xr2h-fkd...96/tm99600.htm

Or Italeri's Turbo(993) kit
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ht=porsche+911

Also look into the die-cast arena.

Re: Porsche wheels

Italeri has kits with each...
The supplied tires can be fair at best though.
The Tamiya Boxster SE has a set of the turbo's, the Revell Boxster has a set of the turbos too, cheap and easy but getting harder to find. The Tamiya 911 is OOP and a little pricey.

Re: Porsche wheels

Thanks for all the ideas !
I think the Tamiya 996 wheels are the ones that comes closest to the real thing, the turbo wheels. The Fujimi 964 and 968 wheels look like the spokes are too thin to match a real cup wheel.

Re: Porsche wheels

Fujimi released a 964 kit called the Evolution, and it has the cup wheel with thicker spokes. (put the mirrors are inaccurate. How typical.)
This modeler put together the kit straight out of the box.
