The wheels wore out on my older grill and I ordered 4 new ones online from Weber. They were reasonably priced and arrived within a week. One of the new wheels was defective (the locking mechanism was malfunctioning). I called Weber, described my problem and they sent a replacement right away.
Replacement Wheels are a tad shorter than the ones on the grill. The online recommendations suggest this as a replacement. Probably should have called with the castor size to find actual fit.The grill works fine with these but are a tad shorter and more compact than the original wheels.
After 23 years the casters on my Weber finally gave out and broke. BBQ is still working well after all,these years. Replaced grates and flavor bars once but have never had to replace the ignition switch. Thanks Webervforba great product.
Wheels are much smaller than original. They did not fit into original "Female receiver" which could not be removed from grill without damaging supports, as it was too tightly wedged. I therefore wrapped caster wheel with tape so it would fit snuggly into old "receiver".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! We are sorry to hear that the Locking casters you ordered do not fit your grill correctly but we would be happy to help. We have contacted you via email to offer some assistance. Thanks!
My Weber Genesis Silver B is almost 20 years old. Finally had a caster give out so I decided to change both of them. These casters are a perfect fit. Changing them could not have been easier.
