G3 30" wheelsets

Just as a notice to all you fine folks.
Ive recently discovered some wheelsets available in the US that work with G3. Technically they are double O scale so represent 1/24 33" wheels.

They scale to about 30.5" and the axle ends are 3mm diameter. Both wheels are insulated from the axle.
The B2B is almost perfect but the wheels are slightly thinner than standards, although they should still work fine.

If anyone is interested, they run about $5 US each. Postage to the UK may be a bit expensive.
If interested, just PM me for a contact email. I dont feel comfortable posting his contact info freely online.

They look nice, just a shame that for G3 they scale out rather too small ( 34.3mm diameter ?) for most European vehicles . Anyone looked into the availability of F scale wheels recently ?

Well for early American options, there were cases of smaller wheels being used. And it only lowers the ride height by 1.5mm if representing 33" wheelsets. Easy enough to hide with springing.
F scale is more popular over here, but barely. Ive tried looking at wheelsets in the past, but no real luck.
