You are in the best of hands with Daryl (probably the nicest guy you'll ever deal with, or meet) as we have had him make parts for us too. I'm sure there are many of us on here that could do something as far as bearings for you, but it wouldn't be any cheaper, or faster... or better than dealing with Daryl as this is his craft.
Please let us know what you decided to do for your Sherman!

You might try MK-Modellbau. Here's an alternative if you need it. Looks like they've got what you are looking for maybe. Hope it helps.

Well, I think its time to speak about it. That pair of wheels that you see on the photo are actually my wheels, M K Modellbau did it under my request. I bought the pieces at a shop in Germany and sent straight to him. He worked on them and he shipped me back them.
But it did not go very well. The wheels were misaligned. I mean, it you take one pair of wheels, the wheels are not paralel, there is a little bit more than a milimeter of misalignement that does not let the track run propperly, so basically I think I wasted my hard earned dough.
I dont know if I should send him an email or not, I think Im just too tired of having problems here and there and I might preffer to lose the money there and try to forget as soon as possible instead of having to send a lot of emails back and forth.
Now is the famous Daryl Turner the one who is going to work on my wheels, and hope he does it as he should, otherwise I will set fire to my sherman and I will look shelter in another hobby like looking for stones in the lentils or so.

I needed new road wheels for my M4 Sherman and couldn't find them any where. Then I found Tamiya Super Sherman # 56032 and looking at it I notice the Super Sherman and M4 Sherman are almost the same tank. Anyhow I ordered the C part tree and they are the same part only it's tan instead of green. I looked on Tamiya and it looks like the part you need are in stock for the Super Sherman it's part number 5415077 for $6.25. I hope this is a help for you.
