I'd look for a (cheaper) old vinyl/rubber covered wheel out of an earlier SL and remove the skin, and take it from there. It may be welded formed rod. I don't know if it will bend well.

SERIOUSLY-- why not cut the top and bottom 30% wheel, like on a lot of small planes? Take a W123 wheel and try it out
