I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.
Unsure of what the pattern is called, you could look it up on brickset or bricklink.
As far as compatibility is concerned, this style hub works on the standard axle.
I will have to explore bricklink more. That's where I got the screenshot from. Thanks for clarifying the compatibility!
Try giving LEGO a call. I called them earlier this year about an old set and trying to find out more info on 121/328. They were super friendly even though they could not shed any light on my question.
