Are the wheels made of "solid" material or composite material? Last chair's composite tires disinegrated.

Yes, my elderly mother is only using for transport to doctors, she is not using daily at home, and fits well in small car.

Hi Pita, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Lightweight Steel Transport Wheelchair with Swing-away Footrest. The caster wheels are designed to be durable and manufactured using PVC. The reason PVC is used on many Transport Wheelchairs is because they allow the chair to remain lightweight requiring minimal maintenance. Like many products which have wheels (cars, scooters, roller blades) they do require the wheels to be changed based on normal wear and tear which depends on how often the chair is used.

The wheels are made out of rubber. It took a month for the strong rubber smell to go away. I would put plastic down on hardwood to avoid stains with a new cart. Very sturdy on rough terrain.

The little swivel wheel in front feels like rubber. The two large rear wheels are plastic, but not really hard plastic. They have a little give to them.

They are rubber wheels. Good quality for the price. My son loves them. They were a birthday gift for him last year.

The "tire" portion of the wheel assembly is a hard rubber material. It is very durable. I don't believe anyone would be disappointed in these wheels. There are plenty of adjustment holes in them as the photo shows. I put these wheels on all four legs of my walker because I can't carry my freshly hung clothing to the closet. I raise the legs to the highest setting and hang the clothes hangers over the front bar or the side reinforcement bars and roll it easily to my closet to hang the clothes up. I don't suggest this if you are in an area of steep incline because you won't have any brakes to make it secure as you step. Mine is used only inside my home.

It has what are called mag wheels. That kind of wheel doesn't have steel spokes. It has big, thick solid plastic pieces that are very hard and durable. And tires that are made of solid rubber stuff, so they won't go flat. It makes it heavier than wheelchairs with steel spokes and inflatable tires, and doesn't provide as smooth a ride, but should be very durable.

Sorry I don't know. I think the wheels are solid rubber so they don't need replacement.

The wheels are high grade, hard thick plastic. Our grandson has ridden on a concrete driveway for almost 2 years on it and the wheels are still as strong as they were when we purchased it. Very durable.

This was a gift for my grandson. His father says the wheels are a very sturdy plastic with a rubber tread over them. The quality seems to be very good. They are using it everyday and my grandson loves it. It is wearing well and his parents having nothing but great things to say about it.

Yes the wheels are plastic the rest of the chair is great. I have had the chair for 3 months.

After "dowsing" with a refrigerator magnet, it appears there was a weak attraction to the wheel rim, so I'm reporting it to be a steel alloy of some kind, but the attraction was not strong enough to think it was all steel. The spokes may be steel, however. The best info source would of course, be Mavic.

The rear wheels are not inflatable, but they are not solid either. I believe they are filled with a gel of some sort.

they are solid rubber, enough sturdy asemmbly, i don't use it every day, but when i do i take care of it personally, so, so far, so good, so i couldn't speak about their performance around job sites with careless and rushy people handling it, since is some considerable weight to bear on two wheels only...good luck tough...

Seemed solid wood to me? I was very happy with mine. One had a broken wheel but the company was very apologetic and sent me a new one right away. Wonderful customer service!
