I've seen some custom wheels built on to the existing tip skids, two varieties.
The "Walter Quitt" wheels that Rex Mayes put on my 29 are great. Don't seem to do anything to performance, but help with ground handling. Williams Soaring Center sell the kit for I think $175 a pair.
Just uploaded a photo to the "Miscellaneous" photo album of the ASW27 Yahoo group (group link below).

The ASW27 Yahoo group is a great resource.

I installed the wheels made by Rex Mayes. Works well. I like that they are attached using double faced tape (I use a good thick 3M product) which can "break away" without worrying about taking a chunk of the wing with them. My $0.02.

I've had a few requests for a printable file.

Because the design is in two parts that are screwed together with short 8-32 bolts, it ought to come apart before ripping the wing off. ;-) You can even use nylon bolts if you want a even lower break-away force. Here's an updated link that includes the .stl file for printing and a picture of one installed.

I use Andy's wheels on my 27, and am quite happy with them. Clever design. I recommend printing the parts from Nylon as it is very tough.
