Years ago I sold hundreds of the old "Don's wheels that were offered by Doug Taffinder. These wheels used the original molds but the rubber used was way too soft for most applications. Marc Warwashanna in Detroit bought the molds from Doug and began producing them in a harder black rubber.He also offers some in a harder material in color.
I have sold many of this new type to help Marc get noticed. He produces fantastic wheels for Stunt and other applications like racing and carrier. His wheels are produced in sizes from 1 1/4" to 2 1/4". Prices range from $6 to $8 per pair with shipping extra. He also produces fast fills for the racing guys and offers Cox 15 parts and custom machining as well.
Contact Marc at

Thanks,
JJ

My memory of Don's wheels is a little fuzzy. A picture or two and maybe some weight/construction data would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Don's stuff was simply the BEST for racing or any other high performance CL events.

DON's wheels featured a high-strength bronze hub, which was placed into the mold so that the rubber could be bonded permanently to it, in a streamline shape, of course. What you need for Rat or Goodyear.

The tires come in red and in black! They are very streamlined in profile, and go perfectly under wheelpants! I got a pair from Joe, and I am TICKLED! This is THE source for wheels, all you need.
I bidded to the end of a 7 day run on EBay for some "Heli-Arc" wheels, black, 1.75" dia. These were some "New Old Stock" that had been found in an abandoned Chicago Warehouse! They are rubber.
Marc's are hard neoprene, and the hub is bronze, not a brass bushing. I recommend 'em.
