Need replacement wheels for a starlight case.
Anyone know what size they are? |
|
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. Patriot Cases But I can just about guarantee Brack has no spare parts for anything Starlight. |

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 |

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