I'm currently building the tracked dolly from this (http://www.indymogul.com/backyard-fx/episode/BFX_20080623) episode and somehow they got 8 wheels for $5 online. The cheapest wheels I can find are $7 for 4 wheels.
Can anybody help me out?

Yes. Buy 8 wheels for $14.
or $0.25 per wheel:

Target sells cheap skateboards as does kaybee toys (if it's still around) and toys R US. You should be able to pick a 2 small crappy skateboards for under $20... or, garage sales.. or, go to savers or the salvation army and pick up rollerblades instead and adjust your build to work with larger wheels (less prone to bumps due to the larger circumference/ shallower arc). I got a pair of roller blades at savers for $4, 8 wheels :)

Yeah those are probably the best if your looking for something now, however it may be worth waiting if you dont need them right away cause you could get a great last minute deal on ebay
