9 rubber rollers are sandwiched between 2 steel plates. The steel plates are riveted to two interior polycarbonate hubs, which form the interior of the wheel. The two interior pieces are held together by the fastening technique of the rollers being attached. These wheels can be purchased in a set of 4 (2 rights, 2 lefts), or individually. They are sold without hubs, sprockets, or bearings.
