I have used the liquid tape product for several applications with great success. Here is another product that I have used with great results. It is called Plastic Dip from Performix brand. It is used on a wide variety of applications, but is most commonly known for a tool handle coating. I have used it for this purpose and it works good, but I can imagine using it to put a rubber coat on your wheels. Here is a link: http://www.plastidip.com/industrial.php
It can be purchased at almost any auto parts store or any hardware or home improvement stores...

Use liquid electrical tape. It brushes on and leaves a smooth rubbery surface and can be built up with several coats. I accidentally spilled some on the edge of my work bench and it poured into a tray, instead of trying to wipe it out I left it to harden and then just pop it out. Well it hardened in a couple of days, it was half an inch thick and it will not come off the plastic tray, so it made a great field test as to what is capable with the stuff.
