You are welcome.
Maybe you can share some photos of the shafts/wheels that you want to connect?
Depending on the torque involved, I would probably reach for a short length of rubber surgical tubing first. You can improve the friction with a quick spray of hairspray on the shaft ends or inside the tubing. Tube slides on like butter then sticks like a booger, plus it can easily be removed by pushing the end of the tube toward the center of the tube. That’s my “lookin’-around-the-shop McGuyver Solution” anyway. As an alternate, you can use thicker rubber automotive hose and hose clamps for higher torque applications.

Okay. Those are completely different than the things you said in your original post. No problem, though. What you have is an 8mm D-Shaft and (probably) 100mm Mecanum Wheels with 8mm hubs. I’m guessing about the 100mm wheel size, because that’s the size that most commonly has 8mm hubs. So, if that is correct, you need a set of 8mm Mecanum Flange Hubs.
Here on RobotShop, they are listed as 8mm Screw Hubs.
