Best/Cheap Wheels to get?

[tom mann]

I'm looking to upgrade some of the Walthers cars to have better looking wheels.  I'm interesting in having a wheel that has a nice, thin "rim" to it, much like the FVM wheels have in N scale.  And secondarily, I would like a thin tread. 

NWSL wheels may be out of the question, price wise.  So what would work as a more cost-conscious option?  Kadee?

Reboxx is basically the equivalent to FVM in HO, with axle sizes to fit everything.  The Intermountain and Branchline wheels are basically the same, may even be from the same plant, but come in one axle size only.  If they fit properly, they are slightly cheaper than Reboxx.

The Kadee HO wheels are sintered, and tend to collect dirt.

I usually use Intermountain semi-scale wheels.

Hey Skibbe,

I believe Intermountain and Reboxx wheels are made by the same company.

I use the semi scale Intermountains and the Reboxx wheels.

The Reboxx wheels roll really nice. They have a demo track at their booth at the Springfield show with their wheel sets and anothers on a big U shaped track. You pull them to the top and let em go, and see how long they roll back and forth. The Reboxx ones keep going and are nice and smooth.
