Good quality wheels!

I have used a lot of these wheels and have been pleased with the quality. One time I had a few defective wheels but the company quickly offered to replace them. I will continue to do business with them.

Ordered 500 wheels

Found a few that were broken or miss shaped. Less hen 1%. I make toys to donate to a pediatric cardiologist. So a few will not get there.
