The old ones are all dried up... :(
I don't know what a rubber is, but LEGO will probably replace it for free.
Once a train motor of mine broke, and they replaced.

It's about the rubbers rims on the 12V motors, it prevents the wheels from
skidding over the track. I have the same problem as Arjen with my 12V motors,
I talked to the LEGO Customer Service and they told me that they are out of
replacements and these rings aren't produced anymore (not surprisingly for a
product that is not available for about 10 years).
Customer Service told me the the best bet is a hobby store or a DIY-store for
rubber rings that might fit.
