Hellcat wheels

Paul the only ones I could find who make 1/32 Hellcat/Corsair wheels was Contact Resine. But no one seems to stock it (LHS or Ebay). Tried to look them up but they seem to be out of business again. I think I read of someone using P-47 wheels, but I have not been able to check that out at all. I dont think its right, but I have been wrong countless times before. Really not sure where you could look after this. Sorry.

Obscureco also makes 1/32nd scale Hellcat/Corsair wheels:
Yet, they are not listed on the web site. Early (shown above) was 32002.
True Details 1/32 TD32004 F4U Corsair/F6F Hellcat Wheel Set is not good as they make the bulges look like flat wheels. Remember that these are aircraft carrier birds with higher air pressure in the tires.
I never heard of Heritage Aviation Models but they have a set for Hellcat and another for Corsair...

Do you see a difference? You shouldn't as both aircraft used the same wheels. The web site, Kits for Cash, seems to be theirs. Looking around, there are some nice items but I can't vouch for them.
Contact Resine is out of stock. Our own Jerry Rutman had some wheels too. Not sure where the molds went.
