Team 1807 needs help...

We are a rookie team and are currently trying to decide what wheels to use. We would like to use different wheels but need help trying to find out where to buy them. If anyone can help, can you please tell us where we could find new wheels and reasons for not using the kit wheels. We had an idea to double the amount of kit wheels by attaching 2 together, (--[]-[]--) kind of like that, to increase traction. But this also made them a lot heavier and not a lot more traction. We do have 8 of the Skyway wheels, so we can use this design. But we would really like to use another type of wheels, preferably at an 8" diameter. In conclusion, can anyone help us find new wheels to use for our first robot?
