I am looking for a source for 1/24 scale wheels for a mid 50s Lister Knobbly. They should be about 15-16 inch rims and tall sidewall tires. They can be plain hub for inserts. Almost all of the 1/24 stuff I see online is modern wide skinny sidewall stuff that just wouldn't look right on this historic car. I would actually prefer the wheels to use 3/32" axles but I know most 1/24 is 1/8", so either would work.

If anyone has anything like this they want to sell, or a link to a source, let me know.

Thanks,

Keith

Depending on how wide you want the wheel to be, you could consider the NSR wheels for the Fly Trucks.

It you can find them, TSRF had a nice wheel too but I am not sure of their availability any more, I know Electric Dreams shows them as out of stock.

Pro-Track also make some nice wheels for 3/32 axles, but they have foam mounted so you would need to remove that.

I have some old Cox rims. I am just not sure exactly what I have. I'll rummage through my stash of 1/24 scale stuff to see exactly what I have. They are most likely threaded and are for a 1/8 axle. I dug out a set for a Ferrari P4 I am working on. A set of PGTs worked really well on them for a 132 car. I know I have a bunch of these rims, just not sure exactly what they are. I think I got wheel sets for the following

BRM
FERRARI
LOTUS
GT40

The Lotus wheels are tapered with knock offs so a little out of the ordinary and you need axles for them, which I have, but they would be too long for 132. Unfortunately as I was a Lotus fan, I think the bulk of these wheels are for the Lotus

I'll check

lotus 30.JPGWe use a lot of Cox rims to make inserts for Protrack wheels.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I have solved the problem for now. I bought four pair of BWA 18x10 wheels from D'Art Hobbies. The tires Art sent me are just about there, so my friend "3D Ron" will use the D'Art tire as a pattern and make a buck with slightly more sidewall and then cast them in urethane. We are both using these wheels with two Lister Knobbly bodies that Ron has 3D printed. He has a file for the inserts as well. They should look good once they are finished and I can order more wheels from Art if I need them.

Cheers,
