As many of you know I'm making a scale model of a nova - custom style however I'm having a few probs with the wheels.

The plan is to make various styles however the problem is finding ones that are the right size for the model. Its about 1:18 scale

I bought a remote controlled mini cooper (new style) to pinch the wheels and these look like a set of 19's - which to be honest aint a problem - theyre just too FAT (wide wise)

So what I'm after is any company or anyone who has or knows where they can get wheels for a remote controlled car.

All I need is one wheel (plan is to take a cast, mod the centre alloy section)

Can anyone help me???

Have you tried doing a search on Google for companies? Probably your best bet.

Theres a local Model shop near me that sells parts for remote control cars. If you give me a rough idea of what size the wheel needs to be I can go and take a look and see if they have anything suitable.

There are so many model companies about Ade...

Buy a copy of Radio Control Model car racer or similar..

The place where I got all my stuff from was http://www.apexracing.co.uk (I think) (p.s. please can I have scale 24" on mine :D)
