A "full service" hardware store will have generic lawn mower wheels in 6", 7", 8" etc. I find these fit and work fine on Lawnboy axle shafts. Not for the self-propelled though.

You probably won't find new green ones...And if you do you can expect to pay a premium.
Depending on the condition, you may consider drilling them out and installing bushings to tighten them back up.
