On roadsters the front wheels are usually smaller than the rear wheels. Also since these are R/C I cant find multiple sizes.

Keep in mind these wheels would be custom machined. CNC machining gets rather expensive. Also the size of the wheels makes a difference, since these are much smaller new tooling parts would have to be ordered and custom made. Another thing is since these wheels are only 52mm in diameter there is no blank for these wheels so a blank would need to be machined as well.
