They're the same size front and back, but they aren't 9 or 10mm, as I brought the wheel into my local shop and none of those seemed to fit.

it's the stock wheelset. Bike is from 2011, but I'm assuming the wheelset hasn't changed throughout this time. Any idea what I should be looking to buy for these? Aside from a new wheelset all together.

It's possible that they are 3/8 inch, which is 9.5mm. It's the standard for cheapy bikes, like beach cruisers etc., like all of mine. There is only one place in the world that sells track nuts for that size axle. They are available in 24 TPI and 26 TPI. You want 26 TPI, as 24 TPI is for coaster brake hubs.

$7.00 for all four. Swivel washer BMX bicycle axle nut 3/8" X 26T - SET OF 4
