I'm looking for a set of replacement wheels for Zvezda/ Dragon BTR-80. I remembered the set are from Hussar Productions. I did a search on the web and Airconnections and can't seem to find them anymore. Are they out of production?
Anyone knows which other aftermarket companies offer a resin set of BTR-80 wheels?

Gary, arcadios thanks for the help. Both looks fine to me. I'll probably get the ones from tiger models.
Don't want to be using the kit's vinyl tires as I've heard people saying the tires will crack/melt/degenerate
over time.
