German wheels

Hello Folks,
I'm building a 1/3 scale halberstadt DV and I'm in need of some wheel drawings that could be used to make accurate wheels. Whatever I can get will be most helpful. The current selection of available wheels is not vast and none have the particular shapes I'm looking for. The wheels I'm looking for have a nearly flat backside and a slightly conical front with tangential spokes. However, the spokes will be faked and the wheels covered in fabric.
Any takers????
Mike

Halb.d\D.V wheels.

Hi Mike:
The tire used on the Halb.D.V were 710 mm in diameter and 85 mm tire width.
The wheel diameter is 554 mm dia. rim width is 66.5mm and is 25mm deep. the hub is 160 mm long and the axle diameter is 42 mm. On the flat side of the wheel, the hub projects 10 mm out from the edge of the rim.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
