got mine from Harbor Freight. They're the black ones. Not the best, but they serve the purpose and are probably the cheapest. I think I only paid $75.00 for them (4).

As Don said, they are not the best in the world but perhaps the best (for the money) if they suit your needs. I paid right around the same (maybe just a little less for one of the sets).

well same here they work, on flat level ground, the ones we have at school are much better but I don't know who makes them.

Tire skates...the quality of the casters make these very easy to move your car.

Northern Tools. Not worth a crap!

I bought the cheap ones from eastwood - I think around $100. They're black. They do their job, but I would recommend spending a little more - maybe w/ a softer (composite?) wheel. Sometimes the metal casters don't want to go in the right direction on my smooth concrete floor, and the car goes off in the wrong direction when you push it. Also, once the castors are facing, lets say, east/west, it's a real PITA to push the car north/south w/o going down and kicking the castors in the right direction to get it moving.

After much consideration and research I went with the tireskate. Been burned too much by Chinese crap I think. Most recently it was a CHEAP Bushnell rifle scope. That cost me 150lb's of mulie deer meat. I bought a Leupold to replace it. Talk aout worlds apart! The Leupold is so clear I can make out the lines on the target at 310 yards!...

Lesson learned. I wasted about $300 on cheap rifle scopes before I went mental and bought a good one.

I've never been one to skimp on tools,so can easily justify tireskates. Still be around and in good shape when my 4 yr old son wants to build something.

Thanks for your help guys!

For what I need it for, Harbor Freight works okay.
