Status: offline 		I am currently working on an airplane that is going to weigh a lot, approximately 26 lbs. I need a set of wheels that can handle the load with little deflection and they need to be as light as possible. I am looking into the Sullivan Skylite wheels, HERE. I am open to opinions and suggestions.

Status: offline 		I think the Sullivan Skylites will do just fine. I don' t know of another that is as light but still tough.

Status: offline 		The Skylites will work well for you application. You may also want to look at the DuBro Treaded Litewieght wheels. I use the DuBro on all my heavy warbirds.

Status: offline 		I've got some Dubros and some Dave Browns and I forget what all...........best I've found are the Kavan's from Hobby Lobby, I've got some 6" on a Giant Stinger that weighs about 22 pounds..............decent quality, light weight and they look good.
