Yes, the 81-228 Nylon Wheel can be replaced with the 81-241 Stainless Steel Wheel.

Now, as for the axles, it mostly depends on your application and what length of axle you'll need. In terms of fit, the 81-304 Axle will slip in and out pretty easily, whereas the 81-203, 81-303 and 81-307 are a bit difficult to move and are made to lock into the roller.
