Default RE: Lighten up your 3D airplane

What about wheels? I've been weighing the ones I have laying around, and the best I seem to be able to do is 28g/pair for some treaded 3" foamies on nylon hubs. They are ugly, though. I have some Dave Brown 3" foam wheels that are 40g before sanding, double ugly. And 2-1/2" Sullivan Skylites are 34g/pair - heavier, but the best looking and no doubt durable. I see that E-Flite has 2 1/2" wheels that are 24g/pair, but have never tried them. Are there better options people know about?
Tks,
