Combine your orders and save on the s/h. Total cost for 2 sets was $50.00.

Very good to know on the bushings. Thanks.

The problem with the HF wheels and many similar wheels found on Chinese import stuff is that the bolts that hold the wheels together have not been tightened properly. I have had these wheels fall apart on dollys, wagons and other similar stuff imported from China.

A little loctight and a wrench and you should be fine.

That said, the all-plastic wheels look very nice and are probably worth the extra cost.

It's what you expect from HF for $5. Plus the wheels stink for 6 months. Bonus.

Can you please tell me the bore size of the wheel that you upgraded. I have a 3/4 bore so If I buy a 1/2 inch cooper insert that should fit snug to the wheel. Thanks for replying.

My best are golf cart wheels, I think they are to heavy for my taste Steve.
