Default 1/10 Touring: (Strong) Spoke wheel options

Hi everyone,

I recently got a touring car again for winter driving/training locally (on deserted stretches of tarmac). I got a set of Sorex 28 tires with it which is on a set of dish wheels.

As I will be putting on a scale touring car body though, I want some more realistic wheels - preferably 5 to 12 single spokes (no 'Y-spoke' or 'double spoke' stuff).

For the best fitting wheels for the looks I should go to Tamiya... However, I recall these wheels chip VERY quickly if they get too close to the tarmac and easily get out of shape too (made of polystyrene?) whereas any racing wheel I've seen so far clearly is a lot tougher (I'm guessing they're all nylon).

So, I'm looking for options that may combine these two. So far I found the following alternatives:

1. http://www.rcmart.com/team-sorex-sw5...l?cPath=35_370
2. Cutting triangles out of the wheels myself to make spoked rims (Time consuming and requires precision to keep a balanced wheel... but probably do-able).

Do you know of other brands that supply spoke type racing wheels?
