Re: 9" Diameter Wheels

+1 for the the Harbor Freight tires. They have similar grip to colsons and are between 8.5 and 8.75 inches in diameter depending on inflation. They also have the + of only being 8 dollars each. For hubs we grinded out the center bearing housings and laser cut some plates with a hex in the middle that bolted on with the pre existing hole patern. They are quite heavy however, so they may or may not be an option.

Harbor freight also sells the same size wheel as a castor with a black wheel. It is not nearly as grippy as the one linked above.
