The wheels were supplied with clear disks with the spokes inscribed, so I cast about for an alternative.  Nice custom spoke wheels are available, but they cost way too much for what will not be a museum
worthy model, but just a representative of the car for my collection.  I was looking for other solutions when I saw a Burago Jag XK120 on my bookcase, and thought, those wheels look just about right! 
A little machine work in a small lathe brought them to what I think will be an adequate solution.  The wheels must be made of nylon, they machined very nicely and no spokes were broken in the process.
