afx Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited August 16, 2018 by afx
RAT-T Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 THERE ARE AMERICAN TORQUE THRUST D'S, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM WITH THAT MUCH OFF-SET. MAYBE FOR MODERN APPLICATIONS?
afx Posted August 16, 2018 Author Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) They were used frequently on racing Porsche in the mid/late '60s. Edited August 16, 2018 by afx
Mike Chernecki Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 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.

Casey Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I don't recall ever seeing any with that much positive offset, nor the larger(?) Porsche/VW bolt pattern. Edited August 16, 2018 by Casey
