Replacement Wheels for a MW Flight Case

Any suggestions for replacement wheels for a Meinl Weston Flight Case? It's an interesting design, most of what Harbor Freight offers are just solid wheels that spin on an axle. The original MW wheels have bearings in them, so just the outer part of the wheel turns.
I can probably find something at Harbor Freight that will work, thought I'd hit up the tubenet prophets and professors before taking the plunge.

When my case (not a MW) needed new wheels, I got them here:

If all you need is a replacement wheel and bearing assembly, They also have plain wheels available that should match the one you're having trouble with.
Just drill out the old rivet and pick up a replacement axle at your local hardware store in the form of a nut & bolt of a similar size (or a rivet if you're confident).

These two links (mine and Stryk's) are the same company.
Hardware Elf is the Retail side. Ohio Travel Bag is the 'Wholesale' side.
I never tried to figure out if there's a price difference at the 2-4 at a time order level.
I do know that I saved shipping by ordering some parts for my dad on the same order (same shipping cost for the larger order).
