Evening all :)

I've got myself an old Kyosho Lazer Alpha that I'm just getting back running
again, replacing the nylon hub bearings with ball bearings etc just for some
fun. The problem i have found is the wheels have died a UV initiated death
and are crumbling. I need some new wheels but the front and rear are
different widths. I cant find any ebay specials with "front and rear" rather
than "4 wheels all the same". Any hints for cheap wheels/tyres to get it
back on the road?? i've also re-wound the motor to a 20t and lubed up the
shocks with fresh oil and seals so im hoping to have some fun :)

Thanks all in advance!
