I use foam wheels on my Midwest Extra and they work fine. They do develop flat spots while the aircraft is in storage but after taxxing out to the runway you're ready to go. I fly off a grass field so the foam wheels last a long time for me.

Why not just replace with another set of Kavan's? http://www.hobby-lobby.com/wheels.htm

RE: Light wheels for 27%
Kvan makes 2 wheels. A rubber one that is ok but if you want light.And I mean the lightest, use there hard plastic wheels. They are truley the best and I think I have used them all. 4" is what I have on all mine from 27 to 33%. They get no flatspots and I have yet to replace one... Bob
