The double articulated GTL8 streetcars of The Hague (Netherlands) are sitll running on PCC B3 trucks and the European PCC BN trucks (with rubber primary suspension).
The B3 trucks are fitted with SAB 271 wheels (some sort of super resilient wheel because B3 has no primary suspension).
BN trucks are fitted with a modified Bochum 54 with aluminium wheel discs, Bochum 84 and SAB 271.
Penn Machine Company based in Johnstown, in cooperation with Bochumer Verein is able to produce this wheels in USA. Drawings of the wheels can be found on the Penn Machine website.
