Does anyone make, or would consider making realistic 1:18 aircraft wheels/tires? I know some of the 'thin as bicycle wheel' tires have long irked collectors.

I only have seen these wheels way back when for $50.00. I recall someone did some P-51 wheels a long time ago, but my memory fails me.

I've started looking into RC plane tires. They aren't perfct matches but with a little work have some potential for improvement over what we have.
