COTS wheels are Commercial Off The Shelf wheels. Translation: Buy them from a vendor, who may also be the manufacturer.

A Makerbot might be suitable for printing wheels. You'd have to get more specific on size and material, though--some of the smaller Makerbots might have trouble with, say, a 6" wheel.
