Can anyone recommend a manufacturer who sells sets of wheels ? I have a number of artillery and cart pieces missing wheels that I want to put to good use.

I'm sorry to say I don't think such a pack is available. Certainly not in an 'ECW range'. Perhaps asking the question more widely might elicit a more positive answer? At 15mm you could use almost any spoked wheels, although with larger 15mm differences start to become more noticeable. '20mm wheels' would work with the larger sized ranges.

Ironically considering today's hobby news posting, Alternative Armies sells 15mm and 25mm wheels of various types. For 15mm see here:

Irregular sell wheels in a range of sizes and styles. The last lot I bought I used to replace the solid wheels on some Airfix chariots.

There was a similar question a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised to find that there were loads of UK suppliers who could offer them but essentially none in the USA. As well as the various suggestions already made, there are suppliers for modellers that also do all sorts of sizes, spoke numbers etc. I've used Langley link though the wargame suppliers are likely better if you want the heftier look of ECW wheels.

Made many scratch projects and love to try them but wheels are the hold back.
This was a scratch project due to a cannon who came missing a wheel

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. I'll scope out the ideas and hopefully get them rolling again.

Never yet ordered from other side of the pond but might take this chance, having some extra wheels is a fun challenge
