I will contact sgs and ask about the wheel design/quality

How disappointing
I imagined the car gliding around with minimum effort

Wheel dollies
The wheels look small hard plastic which will stub to any tiny undulation in the floor, I’d suggest a rubber wheel would ride imperfections without stubbing. The plastic wheels would probably only work on billiard table smooth floors.
A shame given the outlay.

Exactly, the wheels I bought were about £40 for a set of 4 and they work over small obstacles as well without issues.

A simple change of wheel for the cost PVR says would transform these dollies, and from wheels I’ve seen I’d wager the top plate is a standard size and you could bolt a new set on in minutes Pete. Well worth doing as the dolly frames look very good.

Useless as they are though mate, shrug it off and bite the bullet or they’ll sit in the corner gathering dust for the next 5 years then get scrapped.

The wheels are steel, they look cast to me.
