Default New Wheels for Old Car

I have an old Associated 1/8 scale race car which has foam rear wheels about 2 1/2 inches wide, 2inch diameter with about 1 1/4 diameter rims but mount to a 1/4 inch round axle. The .21 OS motor fitted has torn them apart and I can't find a replacement set. Has anyone seen any wheels like this & be able to give me a location or website where I can purchase them on-line?
I haven't had the car long & although it is in good condition otherwise ( and fast ) I can't use it as the chassis is dragging on the ground. Please help!

try peeling the foam off and re using the rims, foam is easier to find than rims
