Anyone ever come across sliding door wheels like this?
Can't find them anywhere to get a replacement...

105mm x 20mm
15mm wide wheels

Any ideas how I could replace them, the doors slide horrifically....

nah those are baby tiny thin wheels, these are big bulky ones... albeit Chinese due to the writing

If hardware stores in your area do not have any alternative, like a slightly shorter version, same width and height then you best start contacting the aluminium glazing places that fit sliding doors.. they may be able to supply something appropriate..
 
In Cape Town, you can get the actual wheels at Stewarts and Lloyds in Wetton. You will have to remove the carrier and tap out the pin

I did a similar gate some years back and one side of the pin has a circlip in it, which was rusted solid. I just cut it off with a stainless steel angle grinder blade

Best take a sample with you, as the inner and outer diameters may not be exactly the same

You might be better off replacing this with a single wheel in a carrier. Cheaper too

yeah it's just trying to find a suitable replacement wheel or carrier, the track is as thick as your pinky finger so it's a thick wide wheel...

I can see the pin thingie goes through but is then flared open, I'm worried if I pry that out then how will I ever replace that pin..
