Wild Thumper Alternate Wheels

Hi, I like my Wild Thumper 4WD, but the wheels are really meant for rugged, outdoor use. I would like to replace them with similarly sized wheels that are smooth (unlike the kit wheels which have big spikes for traction on dirt). Have any of you done this before? Can you recommend a website to shop for replacement wheels? Thanks, Mike
