I got these large moon buggy wheels from Budget Robotics ($6.95 per wheel, requiring assembly of 7 parts). I just mounted a pair on my Octabot II robot, and now I have to jack it up in front because it tilts way forward. I had to file some material out of the wheel wells so the new wheels have enough clearance, but that did not take long.
Here are some pictures:

I don’t think this little robot will have any problems getting traction…
