Default Source for large wire wheels?

Anybody know where can I get a set of 9" dia wire spoke wheels for a Jalapoplane project? I looked at the Balsa USA website and they don't have spoked wheels that large. Neither does Proctor or Tower. Any suggestions besides the baby stroller section at Toys-Backwards R-Us?

Thanks

Harvey

Check with Arizona Models. I know they have KITS for large diameter spoked wheels. Could be a fun part of your project.

Thanks, Augie, but I've heard too many bad things about Arizona Aircrafters; to begin with, their prices are unrealistically high. After reading your reply, I checked their 9" spoked wheels - $195/pr. For a KIT???

I bought some small spoked wheels for a non-rc project one time at a low-rider shop of all places. I guess they were intended for pimping out a tricycle or something.
