Rear wheels for the Lotus 79?

Post by Orso »

I have a project that has been on hold for a couple of years waiting for some wheels.
It is a late 1979 season Lotus 79 with outboard rear brakes and the new rear wing. With all new 3D printed items around, is there any wheels made for this car? (1/20 scale)

Four spoke wheels similar in look to the wheels in the Ebbro Rob Walker Lotus 72.

Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like it is six spokes for the rear wheels and that makes sense as it probably is for the Tamiya kit.
Perhaps I should reach out to Ebbro. Their Lotus 91 wheels look similar to the ones I need.
