   It's general S@H Europe, so it should be all of Western Europe.
   Try via www.lego.com/shop, pick the country in question, and
   go to technic accessory packs.  In AUD I'd estimate the wheel
   packs at about $13 apiece; add to that shipping, exchange, and
   bounty to whomever is ordering them for you, and you'd be lucky
   to get away for less than AU$25 a pack, thus AU$150 for the six
   (twelve wheels).

   81mm is, AFAIK, the largest solid tyres made.  The large ones
   on the Power Puller (2000, currently available) may however be
   larger--I've never owned the set so I can't really say for sure.
