Default PzIV Return Rollers - metal w/ rubber tires

I know that Asiatam makes the road wheels in metal with rubber tires and they have metal mounts for the return rollers. I've even seen the metal return rollers that match the late steel rollers. However, I'm considering building an Ausf G and would like to get metal return rollers with rubber tires. Has anyone seen those?

I don't think the PzIIIreturn rollers will work. I think the diameters and hub patterns are different...I think...not sure.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi

Yes your right, Total size on the P3 is 5mm larger than P4!
I haven't seen P4 return rollers offered with tyres .

Sorry

Hi again

As an addendum to the above, 

I checked the rim size and it's 10.5mm for the P4 and 12.5 mm for the P3. The hub pattern is different too.

The last of the P4's only had 3 return rollers.

Not much help sorry

Didn't help with finding the metal return rollers...but was extremely helpful in confirming my assessments from the pictures that I've seen.  Thanks much. 

BTW...where did you find the dimensions?
