Could be cool - color matched wheel rims with foam tires for $17 ea. Who wants to be the first to see if they fit?

I posted this incorrectly elsewhere. I got the straight Zuca version of this cart. It looks to be different from what the ridge roller is. A few comments to consider.
I bought one of these about two weeks ago. Couple of things, the inside pencil holder is no longer there in this model (I've seen video where there is one inside the zippered pouch, and the insert for holding discs is white, yuck.
The cart is quite nice, and well built. However, day one, one of the knobs that holds the wheels on came off and was lost. It is quite likely my fault, but tighten them down well! (note see below, the Zuca version is different from the ridge roller version). That said, I replaced mine with wing nuts from Home Depot, tightened them down, went out and one came off by hole four. This doesn't surprise me, I built a very similar cart a few years ago and had the same problem. It is the threads and free rotation of the shaft. Not bad design, just reality.
You can do several things, first, Locktite. It keeps threaded nuts from coming off, but makes it hard to get them off unless you have a tool. There are different versions, some that are lighter in consistency and thus, don't hold quite as tightly.
What I've done is what I did last time. I pulled the shaft and drilled two small holes just outside of where the wingnuts, I'm now using, tighten to, when assembled. I then inserted a removable cotter pin to prevent the nuts from coming off. That is great for me but not for those with original equipment.
I do wish there was a designated pencil area, and a designated mini area. Last, the pocket on the side opposite from the putter side goes all the way down. That means that anything in there slides down between the bag, discs, and the metal frame. Kind of a pain to my thinking.
All the bad aside, the build and ergonomics of the cart are fantastic. The handle set up and even the space in the back allows me to insert my disc retriever.
It looks from the pictures that Ridge Roller used a lock nut and a cotter pin to solve the problem of knobs coming off. I will likely invest in the putter pocket in the near future.
Good luck. I think they might be too small, plus you'll have to deal with the axle, hopefully it pops out or something, and even then you might not have bearings.
Now that I think about it, the easier and more effective way to get color rims might be to prime and spray paint the ones that come with the cart.
Nope! Didn't work. Rim and tire size were good, even had sealed bearings, but the axle size was too small.
What's the best place online to pick up one of these carts? Direct from Zuca?

If you play lots of hilly courses carts dont make it any easier.

There's very few courses I play that it doesn't at least even out. Winter Park is about the only course locally that I wouldn't drag it along. Just having an available seat makes it worth it most of the time, even on hilly type courses.
Guess i havent found that to be true even at a place like bryant lake or hyland which are not Colorado mountains. Id rather carry a lighter set in my upper park rebel and hike it out. Hell even the valley i find my cart setup to get annoying.
