My stroller wheels have rusted to the point of collapsing! Two years of beach strolling were enough even though I kept rinsing, scrubbing and spraying anti-rust paint...
Anyway, a new stroller is $90-100, while one wheel (3 needed) is $30 + shipping (US Prices).
I must be missing something(?) so does anyone have suggestions with replacing/repairing them locally?

14 inch or 16"? air in the tires or solid rubber? I used to have a neighbor in Hollywood FL who had a factory in China that makes everything from castor to bicycle rims and everything in between. Tell me more about what your size and type is and I will see if I can find anyone who still knows him. Walter Hernandez was his name if I remember right.

For some reason the front wheel (smaller) is OK. Both rears are bad. Inner tubes on all. I'd like to replace them with plastic wheels. There seems to be only metal wheels for sale, maybe I can use plastic ones from another manufacturer (Bob gear?).

Apparently there's a quick release then I need to unscrew the bearing?

A tape measure will tell you what size they are. as with a car tire they are measured across the rim not to the extreme of the rubber.

I would swap in moto wheels for the rears.... if you can get them to fit.

The size isn't that important..... buggy wheels if you can find them

Look at compra ventas.......
