A Boeing 747-400's main landing gear. Note the toes-up bias angle of the bogies on the wing gear, to ensure correct stowage upon retraction: 707, 720, 757, 767, 787: 10 wheels [1x2]+[2x4] A Boeing 757-200 from British Airways: 777: 14 wheels [1x2]+[2x6] A Boeing 777-200 from United Airlines.
The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.
