I have a 1/24 scale Lotus 30 that need some wheels. The only 13 inch wheels that come close are these for a Ford Escort: https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info. ... s_id=55873
I have no idea of the width of the wheels. Anybody here that know if they are usable?

Re: Wheels for a Lotus 30?
I believe that the wheels used on the Lotus 30 were the same wheels Lotus created for their Indy cars starting in 1964. IMC/Testors 1965 Lotus 38 is not hard to find but of course it’s a 1/25 scale kit. The only 1/24 scale Lotus 38 kit that is still out there is the South Eastern Finecast kit.
Hope this helps.

Didn't the Indy car run on 15 inch wheels?

Yup. You’re right. They were 15” wheels. And even at 1/24 scale the 1/25 scale wheels would be too large.

Hi,
You should ask to Fein Design for your wheels.
They produced the Lotus 30 in the past and may have some spare wheels for sale.
