Re: [FTC]: Axle Set Collars (Vex, Master-Carr)

The Tetrix axles are of 4.7 mm diameter. That's pretty close to 3/16" or 5mm. I'm not sure which will work best.

Strictly, the only shaft collars you may legally use (unless there's been a Q&A revision that I've missed) are those sold by Pitsco. Shaft collars are NOT a fastener and substitutes aren't allowed.

Practically, nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Let your conscience (or, perhaps, your wallet) be your guide.
