Update 2024-11-11
I've created another wheel (V3) to counter some issues I've experienced during previous seasons.
Description
My V1-wheels solved most of my issues that I had with the original Bosch wheels but there was 1 problem that I underestimated and rendered my wheel design obsolete: pet waste.
We have 2 dogs and apparently the wheels could not cope with that amount off.. well.. shit.
After some trial and error, I came up with a whole new design. It still has (for me at least) the same amount of grip as V1 but the pet waste doesn't seem to stick to it, leaving them less dirty and the amount of grip remains the same over time.
Even if the debris would stick, the wheel itself consists mostly out of spokes so it has a huge amount of room to fill before it saturates the threads of the wheel.
Other advantages of the new design:

V1 (left) and V2 (right) on the same run. I've tried it multiple times and the result remains the same.

Assembly
The assembly of the wheel is pretty straight forward. Remove the old wheel and slide this one on. Just mind the alignment of the holes.
Tip: if your mower needs to cross or drive over pavement/stones, stick some EPDM to the ends of the spokes. It will improve its grip and noise massively on hard surfaces without impact on the performance on grass.
Support
I hope this design is useful for others that struggled with the same problem I have.
Like and post makes if it solved the same problem!
