Or craft your own with self vulcanizing tape and an outer mold.

  Stretch the absolute piss out of the tape [just this side of breaking it] 
as you wind it onto the inner form [the steel or wooden wheel] and then add 
a mold of some variety to shape the outer edges.  Once that silicone sets 
for a day or so it is as good as solid in my experience.

Just a thought.
