Vintage RC Wheels and Scale Tires
The right wheels finish the look of a scale or vintage model airplane, and this category focuses on classic-style wheels with molded hubs and tires. Many builders reach for these when detailing older designs where a modern wheel would look out of place, since the hub shape and tire profile do a lot to set a model's period character.
Williams Brothers Vintage Wheels
The Williams Bros. Vintage series pairs contoured hubs with black tires in sizes such as 1-1/2 inch diameter, offered with white or antique linen colored hubs. The Vintage-II line continues that classic appearance for period-correct projects, so you can keep a consistent look across a build.
Smooth Contour Wheels
The Williams Brothers Smooth Contour-II wheels span a wide range of diameters, from 1-1/4 inch up through 3-1/4 inch, with several using stuffed extruded foam tires and gray hubs. Smaller sizes suit light park and sport models, while the larger diameters give bigger airframes more ground clearance on rough grass.
