5/8ths hot rolled round stock. Drill the holes in the factory running gear oversized. Measure for the correct axle length and have the ends threaded. Mount the wheels on racing kart 5/8ths hubs. I get mine from BMI Karting online. Use aluminum tube to cover the steel axle and to also act as spacers so there is no lateral movement in the wheels. Polish the aluminum so it has a mirror finish.
For a nut to secure the wheels to the axle I use a zinc plated acorn nut. This style of wagon is far cheaper to produce than the one I built in previous posts on this thread since I used factory running gear. I custom built the frame and steering for the other wagon.
Also make sure your overall tire height isn't more than 10 inches. Otherwise taller tires will bite the tub if you turn to far.
