Wheel chair wheels leave dark marks on the vinyl flooring. Any suggestions?

Hi. I am going to be updating mom's very old vinyl flooring to new vinyl flooring very soon. Mom's aide pointed out to me that the wheelchair (10 years old) that she uses in the kitchen leaves terrible marks on the existing/old flooring. I have concerns about it damaging the new flooring. Any suggestions for this problem? Any wheelchair wheels that are less likely to cause this issue?
