I've seen these described as D-spoke, not sure if that is correct.  Anyone aware of these wheels being available in 1:25 or 1:24 scale?  Often used on Porsche and VWs.

THERE ARE AMERICAN TORQUE THRUST  D'S, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM WITH THAT MUCH OFF-SET. MAYBE FOR MODERN APPLICATIONS?

They were used frequently on racing Porsche in the mid/late '60s.

How about the American wheels from AMT 1955 Nomad? The spokes would be the same, but you would need to play with the offset to get what you want. You would need to use 4 front wheels.  I believe Round2 removed these beautiful wheels from the latest versions of the Nomad.

Great wheels but not the same style.

I don't recall ever seeing any with that much positive offset, nor the larger(?) Porsche/VW bolt pattern.

They're as close as I've ever seen to the pics you posted, and the first thing I thought of. But I agree, they're not exactly the same thing as your pics.
