Default 5" Diameter Wire Wheels for a Fokker DVII

I'm in the process of building a scale Fokker DVII, and wanted to use a set of 5" diameter wire wheels for the landing gear. I can't find a set anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one or two sets of these wheels? I know that Hobby People do show them on their website, but they are back ordered until December 30th. Here's a link that shows them:

I contacted Global directly, and they said that they have a delivery date of December 30th scheduled, but have no idea if they will actually be delivered on that date or not. So it could take much longer than that. I can afford to wait until the end of the year, but I'd be very interested if anyone could tell me where they are available today. And I did also check Ebay, but there are no current auctions for these wheels. Thanks.

I have a plane by Global called the Blue Max. It has 5 inch wire wheels. I can't seem to find it on their web site now at www.globalhobby.com. A couple of years ago I ordered a replacement set through my local hobby shop but I do not have the part number. I normally write those things down but failed this time.
