I looked at the wheels, and something wasnt right:


The spokes are crossing each other:


Decided to scratch build the spokes.
I needed to make the workbench.
After long, and hard thinking i drilled the hole in the Tamiya primer top:


Inside the styrene tube- size bigger than the hole was glued in.
The length of the tube is identical with the inside ring of the primer top:


The stabiliser was glued in- it rests on the inside ring.
Round the hole another piece of styrene was glued in to keep things steady:

Brass tube was glued in to form the axis.

On the top ring made from CD was glued on.
Another bit- slightly thicker was glued to the base of the tube to keep things steady when the spokes are removed:


Bottom part of the rim in place:



Top part on:



Side view with the wheel in place:
