As your parts are on the market via your store, I suggested it would be OK to include them into Parts Library too, so users could first try to design models with LDraw, including with the parts based on your design, and then buy all the bricks they needs, including from your store.
But as you decided that your parts should not be in Parts Library, I'm declining my request for creating parts based on your wheels design.
I think you have greatly missed the point. Typically non LEGO vendors will share LDraw files if they feel it suits their business.
Ldraw came because there was no 3D data and computers were new and one guy wanted to make some instructions so he worked out how to model the physical in the late 90s. Then LEGO did LDD and LDraw is an open standard.
If someone wants wheels or track links or whatever, they can ask the people selling for LDraw files. There are too many missing LEGO parts to even start down the rabbit hole that is 3rd party parts.
