Default Wheels

My S. Stearman is almost finished. One thing I am disappointed about is the foam wheels they sent with it. I really have nothing against them except for how they flatten out during storage. Does anyone have a tip on how to prevent it besides buying rubber ones?

Either support the plane of its wheels in storage, Rotate the wheels each day (or more often) so that the pressure not left on one area for long or replace them with other wheels.

I have had great success with these brands of wheels

I just use a piece of foam under the fuselage to hold the wheels off the bench or wall depending on where I'm storing it.
