Stealtho Original Office Chair Wheels Set of 5 - Protect Hardwood Floor & Carpet - Heavy Duty Replacement Casters - Black Soft Polyurethane - Standard Fit 7/16" x 7/8"

I have a disability that makes it difficult to get around. I cant afford any of those special mobility products so I scoot around on an old office chair. Our whole house has tile flooring. and while I use the chair mostly in the kitchen (cooking,etc.)moving around like this gets to be a chore after a while because pulling forward puts a lot of strain on my lower back and knees. Going backward is fine except, well no matter the direction, my legs and back start to hurt terribly and getting over the wide grout joints that I inevitably get stuck in can be impossible without half standing and pulling the chair behind. Then the clunk, clunk, clunk sound and impact sending shockwaves up my spine, cuts short any activity I may be in the middle of. The other thing is the scraping sound of the plastic wheels on the beautiful finish on the glazed tiles leaves me in fear of making a gouge or breaking a wheel and possibly toppling over. OK enough of the back story here. One day on a whim, I did a search on replacement wheels for office chairs. I wasn't counting on getting a hit but when 100's of choices came up I was shocked. My girl-wife(?) wife-friend(?) significant something(?) something partner(?) shook her head and laughed because she knows that once again (like 100s of other times) I will be lost in "research" (web searches), entries in my notebook, head scratching, yammering on to her about the history of the product, asking her opinion, (which is always either "I don't care" or "whatever you decide or makes you happy.") then pulling the plug (hitting the enter key on the order. This is followed by what used to be days of anxiety, that feeling you get after leaving the car dealership with your new car. You did the research, you negotiated, you stood firm, you walked, went back and finally "pulled the plug." Now for hours of signing papers, detailing the car, doing whatever "secret stuff" car dealers do. Then you leave, confident that back at the dealership they're all high fiving, laughing, opening champagne, all because they can't believe they found someone to buy that 4 wheeled lemon. You are positive something is going to break on the drive home. The next few days you show it to your family, friends, coworkers and you're sure that they too are snickering and saying things like how they've "never seen such an ugly vehicle", "isn't that the worst rated vehicle ever?" , "I wouldn't take it for free...." etc. Anyway.......Thanks to Amazon, our wait is now (in my area anyway) only 2 days and many times just one. Here they are. I get the message on my phone that they are delivered and LOOK! Thats them leaning up against the wall next to the front door....MY WHEELS!!! So seriously. The package was absolutely beautiful and upon opening there is some papers describing the product and showing how easy it's going to be to put them on unless it's an Ikea chair. The ONLY chair they dont fit is IKEA. I"m pretty sue that if you bought an IKEA chair, your not the type to switch out the wheels on it. You know it's going to break long before the wheels show even a hint of wear (it may have broke while you were ordering the wheels just knowing too much was going tobe asked from it). so, back to the install I grab 2 sizes of screwdriver and pliers and a small pry bar and a pair of safety glasses. I turn over the chair and figure I'll give a wheel a good pull using just my fierce strength (did I say fierce? I crack myself up with that one) and with a great tug, I slam myself in the chin with the wheel never realizing that "hey..they weren't lying about the easy part. Each leg gave up it wheel freely and the new ones slipped in even easier. I turn the chair over and give it a solid push only to find it careening down the hall stopping only inches from a step down into the Florida room. I was thrilled to note the hardest part was turning over this 5 legged beast (which actually slid/fell the first 2 times then once more to right it. Here we go. First flight. The first thing I find is you better have a good grip on the arms while you slide you posterior onto the beast otherwise it WILL try to run out from under you, Especially on the hard smooth tile floor. Like a seasoned cowboy I gracefully (stop laughing) lower the chair a little and down I go. Hmmm. Despite lowering the chair a bit, I'm still sitting at the same height as previous because the wheels are taller than the original. With a slight push off with right foot I'm gliding back down the hall almost all the to where I started. Now the true test. Pulling forward. First, getting the wheels to turn 180 degrees was a bit clumsy. Notbecause of the wheels but because this is a challenge for any wheeled beastie. The key is not to push directly opposite the direction you were heading, but to perform a somewhat circular motion and all 5 wheels will then be redirected and off you go. Now, the effort required to pull forward is much greater than to puch backward and that is simply a matter of physics and body mechanics. It is however 50% easier than it was with the old wheels. I love them. I'm able to spend 25-50% more time wheeling around than before. It is a much gentler ride over the tiles with the hard rubber type wheels . I'm sure a lot of credit is due the excellent (seem so anyway) bearings in the wheels. No more clunk clunk but now a mostly inaudible passing over the grout lines with minimal jarring of my spine. Another good thing is now I can maneuver over the floor mat in front of the sink where before I had to roll it up because the chair would come to a sudden halt if trying to maneuver over it with the old wheels. Its been just a few days but I love, love, love these wheels. I can once again chase the dog and cat through the house. I hope you enjoyed my review and got a few laughs. Something we don't seem o be doing enough of these days. I truly love the wheels guys. I would not have put forth ANY effort to review them if I wasn't serious about the product. That would mean if I hated them I still would have taken the time to say that. Thanks Stealtho for making a difference and improving my life. With my disabilities, time is precious when everything you do takes so much longer than it does for others. Movement is crucial to staying active however movement equals pain so anything that helps with movement, lessens pain and or gives more time in your day is a blessing. Tony C

UPDATE 03-23-2023 STEALTHO has a new design. I've been using a set of wheels with the new design since early January 2023 and they are performing flawlessly. I use this chair for many hours a day and there is no sign of any "angle" change in the stem. I think we have a winner again! Here's what STEALTHO told me: "We changed the manufacturer and improved the quality of our product. Now the wheels are made of Japanese steel. They have been tested and received the SGS quality certificate for withstanding 100,000 rolling without obstacles." If anything changes, I'll post another update. Original Review 05-2020: I put these on one of those high-end Herman Miller Aeron office chairs that I brought home during the Covid-19 pandemic, work-from-home situation. The original H-M-A wheels would have eventually chewed-up my hardwood floor finish. These wheels are fantastic. Not only are they safe on my floor finish but they are super-silent rollers too. They are so smooth rolling that if I do a hard push-off from my desk I'd roll 20 feet like I was on ice. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CHAIR/WHEEL STEM TYPE! I have another H-M-A chair that I was about to buy wheels for and then realized that the chair's original wheels have a hole for the stem and not the stem on the wheel like these STEALTHO wheels have. 18 months later: The wheels have performed well with no issues at all. I just ordered another set for another chair that will also be used on fancy hardwood floors :-). ~24 months later: Well... I'm starting to see that that the oldest wheel set from 2020 as well as the 2nd set for my other chair bought less than a year ago are now all exhibiting the same issue where the stem bearing is developing a "tilt" causing the wheels to not easily vertically rotate while sitting in the chair. This is a bummer since it forces me to work at rolling the chair around on the floor because the wheels want to keep tracking due to the small vertical off-angle all of the wheels have developed. I really miss the perfect way they worked in earlier months. It's all due to the bearing under the stem hat. It just gets looser over time letting the "angle" to develop :-(.

I’m on my second set of STEALTHO office wheels, and now I’ve bought a third. That should say a lot. My first set lasted six years. They were still working fine, but after getting a new chair I decided to upgrade instead of moving the old wheels over. The newer version looks improved and has red bearing covers that my original set did not have. When I was younger, I used to skateboard and rollerblade, so seeing that these use ABEC rated bearings was great. You are not taking your office chair to a skate park, but it does say something about the quality and precision of the bearings. In my experience, that durability is real. My original set proved it over six years of daily use on carpet. That means more dust and more torque from the added grip of the carpet. Even after all that, they honestly looked like they could go another five, maybe even ten years. I work from home, so this chair gets heavy use. It is not just sitting in a corner office. I use it for both work and personal time, so these wheels are doing double duty every day. The design is clean and they roll very smoothly. They work excellent with my Staples Hyken chair. No wobble, no strange noise, and no noticeable wear. There are other options out there with more reviews, but when you compare the specs and the price, STEALTHO makes the most sense for me. After six years of solid performance, I had no reason to try anything else. These are the only office wheels I plan to use going forward.

Edit 12/6/22: Stealtho reached out and offered to replace my set of wheels after improvements were made following customer feedback. The rep I spoke with stated they're using a new method of attaching the post so (hopefully) the separation issue is solved. While outwardly similar to the previous set, the new model I received has a beefier collar supporting the post that goes into the chair so I'm hoping that that and the internal redesigns are enough. I'll update my review should new/old issues arise. Edit 5/21/21: added a photo of the issue I discussed in my review. The axel turns out to not be removable so, with the aid of some vicegrips and a readily available ball end allen wrench, I tightened up the bolt and abandoned the idea of threadlok. Only took five minutes to check all of them and tighten them up a bit. If you're not in the habit of checking your chair every couple of months it's recommended as a little routine maintenance can be the difference between just having to tighten a bolt or breaking something or everything. I ordered these Jan. 24 2020 and the day of my review is May 16 2021, and this is for the non-locking version. For any context you might need I currently weigh a bit north of 200lbs (down from 250, though I partially blame the lockdown and easy access to snacks) and typically use my chair for 3-5hrs on work days and well over 12hrs/day on weekends. During lockdown my wife and I have sat in this chair together and these wheels were durable enough to support almost 400lbs as we rolled across the kitchen floor like maniacs right after putting these on. My computer and hobby desk is set up in a second bedroom so the thick carpet played havoc on the standard casters that came with my chair so after getting a workout throughout COVID lockdown I finally caved and went in search for replacement. I couldn't get details from a set of Herman Millers on the stem size before they went out of stock but these Stealtho wheels stood out from the rest of the offerings by merit of their design, and were also about $100 cheaper. I was ready to make a temporary upgrade till they came back in stock but these have held up to the point my first choice have been back in stock but I don't see the need to change, though one thing about them has me irked* which I'll get to later. If you have a chair on thicker-than-typical-office carpet, rollerblade style wheels like this are what you need if you move your chair frequently and don't want it to be a battle. I'm happy to say Stealtho wheels traverse over carpet fairly easily and, if you're on a hard surface, they roll like butter. I later upgraded to a polycarbonate chair mat so I get almost the same experience, though I've yet to find one large enough for my needs. That bring up a further bonus of oversized chair wheels which many people don't account for and that is they're much better for going OVER things, so when my chair occasionally rolls off the mat it's very easy to just get back on compared to what I imagine it is like with the stock office wheels. Cords also get rolled over easier, though that's neither a pro nor a con. First off, just toss any consideration of the the glow in the dark feature out - they barely glow and certainly not enough to warn you of your chair's location in the dark before your eyes would naturally adjust to the darkness. Second, these are very much opaque and not clear or semi-translucent as the pictures might make them appear. Last of these bullet points, if you're looking for a quiet roll, these are almost silent aside from a squeak or two which I blame more on the polycarbonate mat than the wheels themselves though they might slightly be at fault (see further down for my one gripe). When I spoke about their design a few things stuck out - rounded, smooth edges. I tend to fidget with my feet when I'm absorbed or rest them on the legs of the chair and I have yet to be poked by any corners and the structure of these wheels doesn't jut out from under the legs of the chair. The boxy body of other wheels can have this issue and if you've ever had your foot slip off onto the sharp corner of a caster it's not fun! I can also confirm that these did not mark my kitchen floor and have left ZERO marks on my mat and furthermore, despite a year and closing in on six months of heavy use, the elastic polyurethane of the wheels hasn't worn down * -----> Now then, my one gripe. While I've not experienced any mechanical or structural failure, if you would scroll up to the 2nd picture of the wheel from a low camera angle. If you follow the stem down under the wheel body you'll see a bolt. This is a hex/allen wrench bolt which the stem connects to. The issue I've found is one of my five wheels has developed a very minor lateral tilt because the stem and this bolt have come partially unscrewed which causes a temporary bind when the wheel needs to rotate to a different orientation. I can hand tighten by holding the small plate the bolt sits on which solves the issue short term, but because of clearance with the wheel I can't get a hex wrench in to actually get some resistance to tighten the stem up. I'm planning to see if I can get the axel off to disassemble each wheel and, after examining if it would help, maybe put some locktite threadlocker on to make it a permanent fix. Will update review if this is possible for those fellow DIY'ers. Overall, if you're looking for an upgrade to an office chair, I would say the $40 price tag may initially seem a bit high but if you get as much use as I have out of these they're a good purchase.

purchased back in 2022 and in september 2026 theyre still in great condition. just dont roll it on a loose throw rug thatll get snagged. thats what happened to one of the 5 casters and it tore the rubber, which eventually degraded and crumbled. i reached out via their contact page on their website and they were very quick to respond. i explained to them what i needed and how the damage occured and they promptly emailed me back saying they'd be sending me a full set as a replacement. awesome customer service and awesome product. before i reache dout to them i purchased a similar but cheaper set on amazon but had to return them because they just didnt compare to the smoothness of the stealthos. the cheaper ones would pivot in every direction and some of the casters would drag on the floor, rather than roll cause the barings wouldnt orient the wheel in the direction im trying to move the chair. dont waste your time buying cheaper ones on this site. buy these.

I learned about these wheels through a non-sponsered YouTube video. So when I saw them in the Amazon vine program I decided to give them a try. These wheels feel very well built and substantial. No they do not spin nonstop like fidget spinner, but they are smooth. Installing was easy enough. The hardest part is actually taking the old wheels off. Eventually I realized that a solid butter knife is the best tool for this job. Afterward I just had to pop in the new wheels and it was done. Yes now my chair rolls smoothly. But the one most amazing thing I realize is that it is quiet. Like really quiet. One think info want to point out is that these wheels roll smoothly on hardwood floor but not so much on floor protector, for some reason. Although since these wheels are made with softer outer material I probably can just get rid of the protector. Overall highly recommended if your chair is being used on a hard surface.

Excellent wheels. They may look like others, but they’re made using a far better manufacturing process. My previous wheels left grease stains on my feet, but Stealtho wheels have no such problem.

These wheels are easy to install, and like rollerblade wheels that came before, they operate very smoothly. The glow-in-the-dark is kinda cool, but it's pretty weak. If you work in full light and then turn off your lights and need to see the chair, it's probably fine. But in normal low light or darkness, the glow doesn't get a chance to charge. It also doesn't last long enough to still be glowing when you come back in the room after being gone for more than 15 minutes. However, there's a significant flaw to the design in my experience. The wheel "carriage" is attached to the chair posts via a screw-in bolt. This bolt also holds the beveled metal disc underneath the carriage and up against the bearings and post. Combine this with a wheel that will be rotating quite often as your chair moves back and forth as you move or as you get up and sit back down, that rotation under weight causes the screws to loosen within a few days. Back to that metal disc/washer, I believe that extra height amplifies the unscrewing effect of wheel rotation. Once the wheels start loosening, when you sit in the chair you'll get a sudden very loud *crack* as the wheel post slides down the threads of the now loosened posts. Not good if you're in an office at night with a sleeping child in the room below you. Ask me how I know. Three times, I've disassembled the wheels, re-packed the bearings with lithium grease, and tried to lock the wheels with Loctite, and twice with Vibratite. Nothing will keep these screws from loosening, IME. The bolt seems to have a very nice protective plating, but this may interfere with the ability of Loctite-/Vibratite-like solutions. Finally, the only way to tighten the screws is to hold the wheel post—you know, the polished round lubricated metal post—with your fingers against the torque of your screwdriver. You can also try (as I did) to use vise grips to hold the post, which ended up causing deep scratches and continued loose wheels a couple days later. *If* the post had a hexagonal top section that a socket could fit over, *if* the bolt wasn't finished in the way it is, *if* the washer wasn't quite so thick, *maybe* the bolt solution would hold tight for a full month or two which would be a lot better. However, the original makers of these wheels use a simpler, lighter, and permanent fixing solution that so far has been blissfully quiet and solid. If you're a particularly light person these may be fine, or with the caveats the glow feature is important, these might not be a bad choice. But otherwise I can't recommend these wheels.

I don't normally leave reviews but If you are on the fence about these , I found them amazing and very happy with my upgrade. My expensive ergohuman V2 wheels were unfortunately cheap plastic that broke over time leaving bits and pieces all over my floor.. this are a game changer .. super easy to just pull out old wheels and click these in , in a minute. I thought i might be rolling around the floor but it's been great and doesn't move unless you want it to . Gave my chair a new lease on life ! Super happy and I love the colour too

There are a lot of office chair castors using roller blade style wheels to choose from. They are essentially all the same and share all the same weaknesses, except these. The frame that carries the wheel is supported on the top and bottom with real caged thrust bearings riding on proper machined surfaces, this separates them from every other manufacturer in a big way. The other ones uses one row of lose balls riding on pressed steel races. Over time the pressed pivot pin gets looser and the lose balls end up falling out and ruining the castor, I've seen this happen on hundreds of office chairs and many times that again with castors using the same design for other applications. Between the time the pins get loose and the balls fall out you end up with a castor that won't turn when you try and move the chair, a real pain in the butt to say the least. These guys have eliminated the major failure point of every castor with the double thrust bearing design. It isn't revolutionary, this is the way thrust bearing should be used in an application like this. They also claim to use abec 9 wheel bearings, the 9 indicates that the bearing has very tight internal clearances between the balls and the races that they run. I can't imagine why they'd use these bearings, they are usually for high precision applications running at speeds of up to 30000 rpm. They are usually priced many, many times higher than a standard ball bearing so I can't say if these actually have them or not. I can feel resistance when I turn the wheel so they are tight. This is how they should be so don't expect them to spin freely. I read some review complaining that the wheels squeak or make noise. Don't be afraid to put some on the thrust bearings, just a couple drops top and bottom. They don't appear to be shipped with any grease or oil on them, likely done so it doesn't seep down onto carpets or floors and giving cause for bigger complaints. They are bearings, if they make noise oil them. These are by far the best office chair castor I've ever used, nothing else is even remotely close. The price tag is very reasonable considering what your getting compared to the other brands priced in the $30-$40 range. You get what you pay for in this case. If your not buying these just throw the first pair that you like the look of in your cart. The rest are all the same.

great wheels. Removed the hardwood plastic sheet and run these on the hardwood. much better, easier to clean the hardwood. No scuffs.

Item was great. If only I knew about it before, I would have reduced the damage to my wood flooring.
