We're using those cheap Harbor Freight wheels. Mind detailing how yours have failed, so we can keep an eye out before it happens?

We're having pretty great success with them, too. Kept the split rim, just knocked the bearings out and pressed a hex-broached aluminum plug into place. Nice and cost effective, and so far it's been eating defenses alive.
