Some years ago I had a luck to laser cut the some pairs of wheels from acrylic plastic. This wheels is a little bit fragile. They have a seven paddles. And a width near 25 mm and diameter near 90 mm.

I have found model making (on your own projects) is like government work, never on time and always over budget.

Well and  truly a modeller Gerald.
Never known a personal model that finished on time or under budget.
