How to Buy LEGO Wheels Separate From the Set

Lego wheels come in various types, from small, slick wheels to medium, treaded tires. Before purchasing Lego wheels, consider their purpose, how much you are willing to spend and how hard you're willing to search for the perfect wheels.

Instructions

- 1
  Hunt for loose Lego wheels at garage sales, flea markets or thrift stores. If you are patient, this is the cheapest approach. Look at classified ads and search websites like Craigs List, Toy Brick Brigade or iBrick Shop for new and used wheels.

  Shop at online school supply stores. My Child Playhouses sells a Lego education set that includes two different sizes of tires, plus axles and wheel hubs. Discount School Supply sells a larger educational set of 360 pieces, including wheel elements; colors are limited in black, gray and white.

  Go to Legoland in California, London or Germany. The parks offer the largest Lego selection anywhere. Go to Lego Clubhouse in Fun Town to stock up on wheels.
