Another boring wheel question

[sjelic]

Hi all,

I tried and tried but can not find them anywhere, I need OZ 5 spokes for F1 GTR car with tires (slicks)

This is the wheel





I know I saw Aoshima or Fujimi but without cental nut, that one would work to. Please help me find some or point me out in some direction (other kits with similar wheels ? I thought F40 LM but they are slightly different).

Yes I bought Profil 24 kit and yes wheels are disaster, well maybe I could save the wheels but tires, I never saw something like that.

Rest of the kit (except clear parts for lights) is realy cool and nice.

X2, I have been looking for something like this of ran LM build. Sorry I couldn't help on your answer.

The wheels in the Tamiya Z-tune Skyline look similar, but not 100% identical, it may be a good place to start though.

Hmm S27 is out of those items from their kits so that is dead end. Skyline wheels are very similar indeed, darn, I must think, I can take F40 wheels from MFH which Mr. Hiro offered to me. Thanks for the help guys, I thought that I was blind

I 'borrowed' the wheels from Tamiya's older Castrol Mugen Accord kit for my Mclaren F1:



They were an excellent sustitute for the shameful Profil24 offering.

I grabbed the slicks from a Revell Corvette C5-R kit which fit the rims from the Accord perfectly and combined they looked like they're made for the F1 kit when in place.

I tried and I have to say that Ray's solution is very convincing.

Sasa, news about the redheat ita girl (TK) we're both waiting?

And you thought I didn't build anything

Not Ray, I though nothig, like I see nothing

BTW Sasa i sold my S27 F1 a whyle ago to my friend Ricky, I wasn't so impressed by the quality and the fitting, and most, by the lack of details. Rims was milled down and not bad.

But TBH the profil stuff I own are not so better then the S27 standard.

Thaks Ray, now I have to find those wheels, i have CR kit so tires are not problem, I was thinking of Focus or Lancer WRC wheels with replaced center but if someone has those Accord wheels and don't need them I will be very happy to put them on F1
Gio no words from supplier.....still. I am a bit angry now.
By the way I was looking at S27 wheels and they are not correct, as a matter a fact Profil 24 wheels are much more correct in shape but molding is terrible (of center in any direction), which is very shamefull because kit has great potential.
Ray did you maybe find any option on front blinkers, I can't even see them in that mess of glass parts P24 offered

hey i have a set,not identical but very close and they are OZ's. however it has a 4 stud pattern and not the single nut in the centre, you can however get the billet center nuts from HLJ. they really look the part. anyways. i cant post any pix right now, my camera is up the pole. but if you interested, let me know.

Please do, I also took some from Ford Focus for the start but I would like to see if yours are closer.
