Wheels for Group-C chassis

[Vaurien83 3]

Hello, 

Does anybody know where to find modern wheels for a Group C chassis?

I suppose that it won’t be easy to find rubber tires or rims, but It will be good, at least, find foams and reuse the actual rims.

if there is any mod to use F1 wheels, for instance, it will be also appreciated.

thank you very much

I saw a set on ebay for £75

I think the best route at this time is 3d printing. I was going to see how difficult it is to draw a complex shape like a wheel at some point.

The foam tyres are apparently the same part number as the F103L chassis, so I guess they are different from the F1 (I would guess F1 are narrower?)

You can definitely fit F1 wheels. I ran my Nissan R91CP at our local track with them. Off the top of my head I think you just remove the hubs for the GroupC wheels and they go straight on. It doesn't look as good as the kit wheels, but it works.

 

EDIT: Just checked the manual. Yep, you remove the A2 parts, and replace them with the F1 wheels. It's a bit fiddly on the diff side.

 

EDIT2: I've just checked my order history at Tamico.de. On 30/10/2016 I paid 9.99 Euros for a set of R91CP wheels. Today, this guy on ebay wants 75.00 GBP for them. Insane!

Thank you very much for your answers.

The rims are not a problem because, I can reuse the actual ones removing the foam. And I bought from Tamico, some years ago spare rims from and Honda NSX (probably les than 10 €). I was looking only for the "tyre". I´ll test the F1 wheels. I could then use rubber tires. 

I´ll try to find some supplier of "foam donuts" in any case

 

Thanks again.
