Nice, but a little undersized for the intended application
I bought these casters to replace the rubber feet on a Peavey MC212 vertical 2x12 cabinet. The cab is fairly compact for a vertical 2x12, so the 2" diameter wheels seemed adequate. For wheel diameter, I wanted to go on the smaller side so that the cab would be less likely to fall over or roll away if bumped, but I think I went a little too small.First, the pros:Wheels roll smoothly and the casters swivel smoothly out of the box. A little marine grease should keep them in good working shape. Installation is quick and simple. Rated at 70 lbs per caster, the set will easily support most combo amps or even small cab/head setups like I use (my rig is well over 100 lbs with a rack head sitting on top of the cab). The small wheel diameter means your gear is less likely to roll away. Quality appears to be very good, except for the unsealed bearings (see below). The plate mount is nice as it minimizes the holes and destruction to your cabinet.Finally, the cons:The wheel diameter is probably too small for anything other than small/medium combo amps, and the wheels looked a little under 2" when I opened the package (or, at least, smaller than I expected). You might as well just carry your small combos. Also, the small wheels handle smooth surfaces just fine, but don't expect great performance on carpet or going over small ledges or bumps (i.e. door thresholds or cables/cords on stage). Also, the caster swivel bearings are not sealed (I'm not sure about the wheel bearings), so dirt and dust may take a toll on performance over time.In summary, this caster does its thing well, but I would only recommend it for small amps/cabs. For $20, it was a decent purchase, and since I don't move my gear a whole lot, I'm happy with the casters. However, if you have a medium or large size amp and can find other casters with a 3 or 3.5" wheel for around $5/ea, you'll be better off going that route.

Good wheels that work as advertised
These work very well. They are small but easily handle my Fender Supersonic 60W 1x12 at about 55 lbs. The only thing you should be aware of is that the screws that it comes with are long and good quality. Unfortunately I thought they were long enough that they might come through the wood and damage the reverb tank, so I replaced them with slightly shorter screws. Now I can stop breaking my back hauling the amp all over the place.Another pro tip here is NOT to roll your tube amp over rough surfaces. Only roll on smooth surfaces if you want the preserve the tubes and such. These wheels have no shock absorption!

Under 2 years these wheels are shredded
I bought thsese on 2017 it's now 2019 at the time of the review. These wheels seemed good at first, but they do NOT hold up in the long run at all! The stock wheels on my Marshall cab lasted me about 5 years, I had to replace them because of some stripped screws. I play shows once or twice a week, and yes, I have to wheel across pavement and driveway and all that fun stuff in between. I might order another pair because I don't want to have to drill new holes, but just keep in mind these will last a year or two, depends on how many shows you play. You get what you pay for.

Back Saver!
I put these on my Orange CR120 Combo. Been gigging with it and the wheels hold up well. Definitely a back saver! Highly recommended for anyone lugging around an amp night after night!

Perfect for my heavy combo
I installed these on my old Peavey Ultra Tube 1×12 combo. As most tube amps seem to be pretty heavy, mine was no different. I needed something to make transport easier for me when I'm going between different rehearsal studios. I'm a small woman, with big gear, so this helped a ton. These casters are nice and smooth and quieter than the cheap casters you can buy at Harbor Freight. I recommend.

These casters get the show on the road!
Great quality casters. The wheels are made of rubber instead of hard plastic, like the ones you buy in the hardware store. This was important to me, because I have hard wood floors, and these casters don't scratch the floor. They make hauling the amp around on a gig a breeze, roll out of the van, and roll onto the stage, no more back pain. It comes with all the hardware needed, all you need is a screw driver and a drill. They are not too big and not too small. Fits a 2x12 amp nicely. They would look too big under a single speaker amp.

Great for small amp/cabinet
I used these on my Mini recto 1x12 cabinet and they seem to work great. A full size set of wheels would have looked oversized for my use. Easy to install, screws are long so just be aware as to whats on the other side that you are screwing them into. Make sure theres not a reverb or other type unit that they would screw into. Of course $2 worth of shorter screws from your home improvement store would easily fix this. They roll fine on my carpet. Once again these are for small to mid size amps or cabs, NOT for larger amps/cabs that are on Tour!
