About SandRider Beach Balloon Wheels

Made entirely in the USA, these wheels are comparable to the Wheeleez model WZ1-49UC, 19.3″ or 49 CM polyurethane wheels and can be used as a one-for-one replacement.Bearing Design: Wheeleez uses traditional bearings, while Sand Rider employs a unique combination cap and bushing design made of low friction marine plastic.
