We have used this for wheels for the last two years, covered with conveyer belting.

Thanks that would work fine. I kind of prefer plastic because I could see my wheels splintering at the edges where it's going to be very thin. I can just cut the board to size. I'll still keep an eye out for other plastics. But I'm happy to find something thats big enough.
