But as far as blue roughtop (nitrile is the name) just search for "incline conveyor belting" on Mcmaster.com and you should see it. Select the Nitrile roughtop for the "blue" style. And i don't know if anyone makes nitrile wedgetop.

3"wide (thinnest available) nitrile roughtop part number: 5994K851

hope i helped
One trick we did this year: Instead of buying two feet of X-inch-wide wedgetop and having a bunch left over, we instead ordered one foot of an 18" wide piece (which, coincidentally, is a smidge longer than the circumference of our wheels). For a four-inch wheel, your magic number would be 13" (or the next size past that).
