I don't know of anyone that makes wheels for 1/32nd cars with 1/8th axles. BWA used to make them, but they are no longer available. Slot Car Corner has CB Design Classic Steel wheels that would look good, but those have 3/32nd axle holes that would have to be enlarged. There are silicone, urethane and rubber tires that fit those wheels.

Many times I use CB Design wheels & open the wheels for 1/8".

Yep. Its pretty easy to open up an aluminum wheel to 1/8th, assuming there is room in the hub for expansion. Make sure of your alignment and go to it. You can do it very well with a simple chucking reamer. I did it once by cutting down a 1/8th axle to 3/32nds. Pretty easy with any kind of lathe or drill/lathe setup.
