Yup, as I said they are all on McMaster, so... I found some pics of the material we used. As for your description of how you attached tred to wheels, we did the exact same thing except that we used high durability epoxy instead of carpet glue. Haha great minds think alike!

The first pic is the notched material, it has a 1/8" groove on 1" centers, fitting right into the wire mesh. The second is the ultra sticky material. It was black gum rubber material, and it had excellent grip on the HDPE. Hope that helps!
