If your weight is between 350 lbs and 500 lbs, our Mr. Big Caster may be your best choice. It only comes with nylon wheels and will require a thick mat to protect wood floors. Robust 4 Inch Diameter Nylon wheels are the best material when rolling directly on carpet but carpet wear can not be avoided.
It is sadly true that many expensive gaming chairs are sold with inexpensive nylon twin wheel casters. While these casters are cost-effective and can sometimes work well on carpeted surfaces, they may not be the best choice for hard wood floors for several reasons:
To address these issues, some users choose to replace the stock casters with higher-quality ones that are specifically designed for heavier people and to protect flooring. Casters made from soft gray rubber are often recommended for this purpose as they are more floor-friendly and reduce the risk of scratching or damaging hard wood surfaces.
Upgrading to casters designed for hard floors can help protect your floors and improve the overall chair experience. A 300lb man will have zero trouble moving around on a chair with these premium caster wheels. We believe these are the finest chair casters ever made. They will protect and roll easily on hard floor surfaces.
Our Elite Series Chrome Chair Casters offers soft ray rubber wheels which can not mark or damage hardwood floors. The soft rubber wheel is available in both 2″ and 3″ diameters. Although we do not recommend any caster for a SOFT WOOD floor such as Pine, the Elite series with it’s extra soft rubber wheels has been used successfully on SOFT WOOD floors.
We’ve carefully curated our selection of gaming chair replacement wheels to ensure that customers of varying body types can find suitable solutions for their needs.

If your weight exceeds 200 lbs, we suggest you consider using casters with at least 3″ diameter wheels. 3″ diameter wheels roll easier than 2″ diameter wheels. Polyurethane and Soft Rubber wheels are floor protective. Polyurethane rolls easier but is less resilient.
You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the information shown at the bottom of this page. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.
