Need replacement wheels for a starlight case.


Anyone know what size they are?

I found their website.

I did not find where it gives the wheel and axle size specifications.

I think it's a common size inline skate wheel.

Just don't know which one.

I'm kind of at a loss and think you don't have the case yet, but you are looking for axles & wheels?


If you already have the case, can't you disassemble and measure axle diameter?


Wheel diameter would be measured from axle center-line to nearest point and multiply x2. You should subtract a little for clearance.


Wheel width, self explanatory. If a wheel of a more narrow size, axle shims (washers) can be added to take up side-to-side play.





If you want the wheels that are correct, I suggest getting in contact with Starlight would be best

Starlight is no longer in business.
Contact Brack Wilson at Patriot Cases. His family owned Starlight.

But I can just about guarantee Brack has no spare parts for anything Starlight.

You have 681 posts so I am going to be nice.

I have two. Cases

I was hoping that someone would know the wheel dimensions.

This saves me the time of disassembling the axles etc off the two cases I have and taking them to the store

I have had the case so long that the wheels have dry rotted and started to come off in chunks.

They are skate wheels.   My research on Amazon shows different sizes.   I was hoping that someone had the size handy.

I'll take a wheel off and measure it.
I'll post the specs here for future reference

No worries.  Sorry for reading more into it.

I was being lazy.  Trying to avoid the step of disassembly twice.  I actually use these cases

I was just suggesting that you call Brack, he could possibly tell you the exact dimensions and where you might find a replacement.
Good luck.

Yes sir.  That was noted and I will email him.   I think I met him at shot show or the NRA show a few years ago

My measurements

Axles. 6mm X 59mm

Wheel outer diameter.  70mm.  Looks like room for larger wheels
Inner diameter for bearing assembly. 21.5mm
