I spent a lot of money on an Armor 1:32 scale F-15 with rubber wheels. After about a year of sitting on the shelf, the wheels didn't crack, they went "flat" due to the weight of the model.

I prefer the old hard plastic gears - they may not be as realistic, but they won't dry up, crack, or be flattened by the weight of the model.
