Each wheel features a closed-cell foam tire with a sculpted tread, mounted on a nylon hub. Total weight for the pair is only 0.11 pounds (approximately 50 grams), making them among the lightest options available for park flyers and small gas models. They come unfinished so you can paint them to match your airplane's color scheme or leave them as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these wheels super light?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key is the material combination. The closed-cell foam is both firm and light, providing a cushioned landing without the weight of traditional rubber or solid foam wheels. The nylon hub replaces heavier metal or plastic hubs. Du-Bro states these are the lightest wheels they have ever produced, making them a good choice for models where weight savings are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWheel measurements at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRim size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheel backspacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (pair)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.11 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoam with nylon hub\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnfinished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: The listed \"passenger car\" service type appears to be a categorization error; these wheels are designed for model aircraft, not full-size cars.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich RC models are these wheels ideal for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Du-Bro's specifications, the Super Lite wheels work well with electric park flyers, lightweight gas models, and similar small aircraft.
