Depending on your robot, you could always look at some BaneBots wheel, I myself got four 2in 7/8 Orange (used 2 per axle) as i need some rather small but wide wheels and it was more cost effective for me. It really depend on your design
When I was still on drill motors I found these wheels

Work well with this nut:

The hole is a bit smaller than the nut but I didn't drill it out - I jigsawed some little guidelines matching the corner points of the nut, flooded the hole with hot glue and then hammered the nut in nice and snug.
The L/H screw goes through the narrower hole at the end to tie it together nicely. After reading that same Australian guide I made sure the hole in the washer wasn't too loose. I also hacked off the little neck on the rear so the motor fits closer to the body of the wheel.
Then I got fed up trying to mount the motors and bought some Gimsons.
