I think you've hit the nail on the head. The dreaded "Made in China" problem. Sadly, my experience has often been that they make a part that looks just like the good ones, but when you go to use it....

I'd look for an adapter that will allow you to use readliy available wheels and then buy them from a reputable vendor. Have you tried Grainger's, McMaster Carr, or a similar source? Hopefully they still sell the good stuff.
