Purchased new casters for my old Genesis Silver. Arrived quickly and easily installed. Perfect fit! Thank you Weber for many more years of family BBQs.
5 minutes repair. Turn grill up (removed tank) pull out broken casters and tap in new sleeves and pop in wheels. Easy as pie
I would recommend this to a friend!

Kind of fits charcoal grill

Interesting. I bought a Charcoal Performer just a few months ago. Dropped the grate on the locking caster and broke off the clip leaving it permanently locked. There's only one caster available from Weber and it says it's for the gas grill. But there are plenty of reviews on other sites where users say you can just remove the plastic housing and this caster fits the charcoal grill. Pretty much true. The metal leg fits neatly into the different, round housing on my Charcoal Performer just fine, and it's certainly useable. But it's just as certainly a different size. The replacement caster is smaller in diameter and less wide than the original. Since it's not much different and there's a lot of tolerance given the very bendy nature of the grill to begin with, I don't see a problem using it (and I could just spend another $6 and make the other side match). But thought I needed to temper the glowing reviews here with more accurate information that this caster is not the same size as the original casters on a grill bought just a few months ago--but it will work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi! This replacement caster is not designed for use with the Performer series grill. We have reached out via email to help identify which Performer grill you own and find the correct caster for your model. Thanks!
I was able to easily remove the old wheels-- slid out with easy taps of rubber mallet and the old ones slid into place. now with the new wheels in place I don't have to hold that end up to move the grill in/out of garage
