BBS E50 Wheels

[afx]

Anyone know a source for these wheels but in a 5-bolt pattern, 16" diameter?

tamiya sierra rs500 racecars or scale production

The RS500 wheels are similar but not quite the same.

I don't know if what comes in Revell's Grand National kit will be close enough for your needs, but 1/24th and 5 bolt.

 just checked scaleproduction and they only have the 16s in 4 stud

About as close as I see that is readily available are these:

There's a nice set of big and little mesh wheels in the Monogram 79 Camaro. They're 1/24th scale so will look about like 16 or 17 inch wheels in 1/25th.

If you cant find them uscp are happy to add wheels to their list, they did stock vw mk3 golf wheels for someone on here a while back and they are on the list now. scale production do have 16" e50s with centrelocks though

I'm thinking the JPS Mustang has those wheels. I have it. So, I can check. 

Edit: It has them. But no lugs. Just the single large center nut.

This is the project I want to build.  Looks like the the SSR Formula Mesh that Exotics_Builder posted might be the best option. $$$ -

Might get you close, for the wheel centers, at least:

I looked at the Fujimi BMW 635CSi kit.  Wheels are very nice center lock but have no staggered offset front to rear.

The Monogram kit's wheels have five exposed lugs, rather than a hexagonal center locking nut. The Fujimi kit(s) you pictured appeared to have the center hex nut, just like the Monogram/Revell road racing kits Roger mentioned earlier.

I was really suggesting the wheel centers, knowing you would probably use some turned aluminium hoops to get the desired offset.

Understood Casey and thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I don't have the Monogram kit to evaluate the wheels.  I have been poking around in my stash trying to find a suitable wheel center and rim but no luck yet.

I was going to suggest Tamiya's road version of the BMW M635, but it looks like the nuts are hidden by a centre cap. They are very nice wheels, I've used them

I'm looking to use the Monogram Camaro mesh wheels that Brian posted on a 1:25 project that has similar requirements, although mine isn't a replica of anything at 1:1 so I have a bit more scope to utilise whatever I find.

I can vaguely recall another American kit I have in my stash that has mesh wheels as some sort of Street Machine option. I'll try and remember to have a dig around.....

Check out these wheels from Hobby Design, they're 19 inches but have the exposed lug nuts and are big and little. I have a set and they're very nice, I think Tamiya slicks might fit them as well. I can check when I get home if you're interested.

These appear to be a 19" version of the wheels Exotics_Builder posted. Very nice but 19" is too large for the car I want to replicate.

I have that BMW kit in my stash, box unsealed.  I can take some pics of the wheels if that helps.

Thanks for all the help!  I bit the bullet and ordered the Hobby Design wheels from BNA Model World ($28 w/ shipping!!!)
