Any one know of a source of what I would call KeilKraft Streamlined type wheels but you Yanks call Banner type wheels I think.
I think I saw some awhile ago designed for Pylon racing but can't remember where!

Tony, Marc Warwashanna in the Detroit,USA has been making what I think are the best narrow wheels available. His e-mail add is in the PAMPA listing. What sizes are you looking for? I have several here if you wish.

#2 sourceTony,
I may be have some of my facts wrong, but here goes. Banner made a line of wheels called "Streamlite." They are not what I would called streamlined (like speed wheels). They are traditonal in size and cross section with a self-contained mounting system and elegant aluminum "moon" style wheel covers. They occasionally show up on eBay, but are expensive (and heavy). KeilKraft wheels are similar in appearance but have white plastic in place of aluminum hubs/covers. You can occasionally find them on eBay as well, but be prepared to pay quite a bit for them. If you are in fact looking for streamlined speed-type wheels, contact one of the C/L speed forums. Glenn Lee used to make them. Gary
Banner wheels sometimes cost more today than a kit you would put them on. Kraft wheels are similar but plastic- still neat tho- and I have several of them, wish they still made these- and the Veco 1-7/8" streamlines.

#5 sourceI got 3 sets of 1 7/8" veco streamline wheels a couple years ago from Tony Naccarato. He apparently has lots as the first order got lost in the mail and he was able to send me 3 more sets.
His hobby shop is in Burbank, CA I think. He's in the PAMPA directory.

Is that the same Stu Robinson who made tethered hydros, now that is a proper event!

I believe you can still get a limited few sizes of the old style "Perfect" Streamlined Wheels ..... Tower Hobbies has them for relatively cheap (I think?) ..... Tower might also have the older "Prather" Pylon Racing wheels, these are true machined aluminum with rubber "O" ring tires.
No. We have two Stu Robinsons. Why make things easy when you can have them complicated?
