Jon,

I have to agree with William M. Gilroy's post.  Don't get anything under
a 5hp (220V) 30 gal tank compressor.  As for wheels, I don't think I've 
ever seen a vertical compressor on wheels.  I have a Craftsman 5hp 30gal
oil lubed compressor that I paid about $400 for.  It has wheels on it.

Good luck.

John
