Hi,

A friend of mine wants to build this Jag, and wondres if there's a source (kit or aftermarket) for the wheels.

And if so what the outside diameter is of the rim (in mm please)

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Those are the jongbloud wheels that were discussed here a few months ago.

A couple of the Japanese companys makes something similar but the closest I've found would be the ones in the Monogram "Turbochief" custom '77 TransAm from the early '80s. 

Love to have a couple sets of those myself.

Hi,

Perhaps try and modify XR4 Longchamps?  I've seen em in 14", 15" and 16" from the likes of Fujimi and Aoshima.

I also found a place called FuguGarage that carries some nice resin Longchamps as well.

PS These from USCP may work very nicely.  Some mods if needed to be accurate to your supplied picture.

^This. I have one used wheel which had a spinner nut glued to the center hub, so the very center is not great anymore, but I think it's as close as you will find to be honest:
