Default 1/4 scale cub wheels

has anyone weighed the different brands of 1/4 scale cub wheels? I cant find true weight. Are the inflatable tires the way to go? Or the low bounce foam filled

I don't think it really matters what the little weight difference would be since a cub will not be affected by it. I like the DuBro cub wheels just because they look good. The H9 also look very nice, and I have used the 1/5 scale H9 wheels. I've never used the inflatable ones, so can't comment on them, but I'd suggest buy what you think looks the best, and not worry about the weight.

Those are the same style as used on the Cub, but the "genuine" Cub wheels have a hubcap with Cub engraved.

I didn't know that? Got a photo of a hub?

These are 6". would they be 1/4 scale?

6 inch wheels would look cool, but 1/4 scale calls out for 4.5 inch. Are you selling those?

They'd look right on a 1/4 scale bush cub. Keep in mind that even though they are scale to a bush plane you will hear "Those tires are too big for that plane" for the rest of your planes life.

Not any more, that I can find. Same old story; computer crash and old stuff gone.

I think your right about comments on too large of wheels but when this cub does a herrier or a knife edge in front of them, they will love the wheels
