Hi, could any one help me in locating some 8.5"-9.0" Piper Cub style wheels for my new 50% project.
Thanks, Ben

Trolly wheels...............I've had treaded pneumatic wheels from the likes of RS in the past...10" dia, once the tread is removed (spin the wheel in a lathe and shave the rubber tread off with a surform), the diameter comes down a lot.

I'm sure smaller diameters are also available.
