Review on 🧳 Eric_Leon 2 Set of Luggage Suitcase Replacement Wheels with ABEC 608zz Bearings: Upgrade Your Travel Gear! by Broderick Cash

The 50x18 wheels don't fit me and the pictures don't show it

The 50x18 wheels I have are not what I need and it's very frustrating . I need a 50x18 wheel that is built in and rounded to a high center where it touches the ground like an inline skate wheel. The wheels I received are flat which is not the style of my Samsonite spinner. The photos on the product page don't show this well and from some angles they look rounded. I feel like this was done on purpose and that's even more disappointing as I would never have bought them had I realized they were flat. It's odd to me that they are flat because all the spinner cases I've seen have roller skate style wheels which I need, I'm not sure why they would only sell the flat style when one high percentage of luggage wheels are wheels. rounded wheel for roller skates. Now I have to go to the trouble of getting them back and finding the right type of wheel to replace the broken wheel on my suitcase, all before my next business trip. So if you want 50x18 wheels that are NOT flat, don't buy them as they are definitely flat. Also of note is that the wheels didn't spin very well, they weren't smooth, and they didn't slide easily. They seem to get slightly stuck in the middle, slowing them down and giving an overall sense of volatility. They spin, and maybe with the weight on them it wouldn't be as noticeable, but when I compared them to my Samsonite's stock wheels (which don't even have bearings) with no weight on either wheel, the Samsonite wheels rolled much longer. . Either way the problem persists and doesn't give you a quick silky smooth roll. I gave them 2 stars because they seem to work and will most likely suit those who need flat shaped wheels although I wouldn't recommend them to anyone as even people who need that shape won't be able to get quality wheels I like to drive around Airports or anywhere else around. Disappointed with these wheels and the fact that I now have to waste my time and energy returning them due to the seller's refusal.
