I've been thinking about buying a sheet of Acetyl (the material of the treads) and just gluing them onto our old KOP wheels.

Rover wheels are kinda steep

Acetyl is not the easiest thing in the world to get glue to stick to. However, for a practice trailer or prototype bot you may be able to take some of last years wheels and wrap them in a thin sheet, and bury a couple of rivits or screw heads into the material to keep it in place. Also, you can buy HDPE thin sheet material, it is used for a lot of woodworking jigs and stuff, for example Woodcraft has 10' rolls in both 3/4" and 3" widths here http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=902 that comes with an adhesive backing already applied. Other woodworking specialty stores usually carry it, too. I'm not sure if you can find it a your local big box (Home Depot, Lowes, etc) store.
