Alloy 'cross spoked' wheels used on later JBA Falcons?

[v8pete]

Hi folks - I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where to get a set of the 'cross-spoked' alloys that are used on quite a number of the later JBAs. These are the ones which have an alloy pattern which resembles a 'chunky' version of a wire wheel - I'd include a pic if I was smart enough to know how to embed one!
Thanks for any help,
Pete.

I think they were the same used as on my Dad's scratch build (which he's getting rid of for real wires)

I'll find out what they are.

ETA - they are KN Diamonds on his - not sure if that's any help or not, but they are definitely a "chunky" wire wheel look!

Best chance of finding new ones might be to ask manufacturers of 30s style kits like Marlin and NG as they've used similar wheels in the past.

Otherwise your best bet might be used ones off ebay. Apart from the KNs Davi mentioned there were also Appliance Wiremags.

The cheaper option used back in the mid 80's (about the vintage would be Alleycat Rally wheels many places used to sell these, slightly less spokes than the others.
