For kids bikes, Kenda makes a reasonable road tire. Many wheel chair racers run 540 size wheels & tires.

The link for the Qbikes source should still have stock of these rims. As noted above, I bought a set to build only a couple weeks ago.

So much revolves around the frame you have to work with. It is really nice to have wheels that are the right size.

I built mine on fine Campy Record hubs, too.
