Metal Wheels
I have gone through boxes and boxes of these wheels…as have many of my friends. They are my/our Go-To product for replacing plastic wheels.
And Lombard Hobbies most often has the best price for the 100-pack ! -
IM 33" wheelsets
Quick delivery. Wheels are great replacements for worn-out sets, sets with plastic axles, and sets with cheap plating.

Intermountain Nickel Silver Wheelsets
These have become my go-to replacement wheelsets. I’ve used both the 33 inch and 36 inch wheelsets and find them to be consistently excellent. Highly recommended!
