Depending on what you are trying to replicate, it would sound as if you are doing an older plane, so I would reccomend checking with Williams Brothers. I am using a set of their 4" vintage wheels and they are about 1/2" in width. If you need something for a newer plane, you might wish to rethink the width, since more modern planes use a wider wheel and tire.

What type of model are you going to use the wheels on??? Do you want wire wheels like the WW1 models or are they for a newer plane????
This information will get you much more help.

I just found this thread and am looking for some scale wheels also. I need them for a newer plane, nothing vintage. I want some wheels that have plastic hubs (not aluminum) and I would like them to have smooth hubaps on the outsides. Robarts only go up t0 4" but I really need some wheels that are 4 1/2" in diameter. If they are a little bigger I would consider them but 4 1/2" is the size i am aiming for right now.

Thanks, David G.
