Specifying the sizes you need likely will get more specific responses.

Assuming you are looking for 7-1/4" or 7-1/2" gage there is RMI already mentioned.  Also a few listed below.

There you go, assuming -> where a clear definition in the original request would have been better.

It is like someone asking "does anyone know automobile manufacturers?"

Agreed.

I machine wheels and axles. But I need more information.

Someone new to the hobby may not know yet what they might build, what scale, what is available or where to start.

one of the major problems today -> lack of accurate communications.

It's a qualified answer that might be helpful. Maybe he's 100% new and doesn't know where to start. Certainly a greater chance of being helpful than answering with a wise crack and complaints.
