I got some of these: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHJA7 .  They are light and have held up OK so far.

 Sullivan sells some nice wheels in 1, 3/4 and 1/2" sizes. Real rubber and aluminum hubs. I've also seen the exact same ones sold in Perfect packaging.

It's a real good idea to zap a little CA on those rubber tire tailwheels on Al hubs.  They tend to separate after a while.  I got tired of looking all over the field for the tire, so I now just run the Aluminum hub  (noisy, but it works)
