This is incorrect, the 8" wheels do not have the new revision rollers yet, this is due to transition time of inventory (8" wheels are less popular).

The 8" wheels do hold up better than the older 6" and 4" counterparts though due to significantly less deflection when rolling at each roller tab.

As always, email me with any questions,
