I've used 5/8" (0.625") OD Tygon tubing, often used for aquarium lines
and drainage lines.  I just get a snip off the roll, place it over the
end of the cleaned hub, and slice it to the right height to provide a
"wheel" as wide as the original.

Can't help you with that.  I get my Tygon at the hardware store.  No
idea what sizes you would have there.
