Vintage 58059 Porsche 959 - Wheels / Tyres

Recommended Posts

I’m trying to source a set of box art white wheels and non-standard tyres to fit a vintage 959 - pic below. 

The only thing I’ve found so far are some beautiful - but too big - wheels made for Carisma’s 1:8 scale 959 - again pic below. 

Does anyone know where I could get a suitable 1:12 set and tyres purely for display ?

@VagabondStarJXF has kindly offered to think about some 3D printing if necessary but I don’t want to waste his time if there’s a more obvious solution !

Thanks in advance,

 4x 1/12th scale 7 spoke white wheels £45 + P&P to EU only

We also produce 48x26mm 1/10th touring size seven spoke wheels with 10mm hex to fit Tamiyas' 58059. These wheels are only slightly larger diameter and the same width as the standard rims. This allows use of any standard 48mm diameter by 26mm wide 1/10th touring or rally tyres available from many manufacturers.

You can use the 1/10 wheels with Avante hex's on an original 959.white wheels to fit 10th scale tyres £50 + P&P to EU only

Sorry cannot remember. I did it a long time ago, before the Avante re-re. Not sure if the new ones match the old ones either. You should be able to find both the original and re-re manuals which will give you part numbers.

That is superb !

Thank you @njmlondon :) 

Do you know the part number for the Avante hex’s to fit the 1:10 set ?

This will work.
