I have to agree with the earlier post that suggests you get what you pay for. Most forklift users miss the fact that often the labor to install the tires and wheels contributes significantly and in some cases exceeds the costs of the replacements parts.

Cheap wheels often fail prematurely and require additional replacements that bring with it additional labor costs.

Your objective should be to discover the longest lasting wheel to ultimately reduce your overall costs.
