Wow!  8 foot wide wheels! _seventeen_ feet tall!?! Holy high-boys, batman!

For replacement wheels you might consider those really strong 17 x 8"
Compomotive wheels Jeff Goggin has, I can't remember the name right now, but

These are pretty strong wheels. I wouldn't go with anything less in 17" size.
