Yes. We are working on a new, upgraded version of these 6" wheels. There are 3 improvements:

1. Gray rollers, slightly more tacky, non-marking
2. The thickness of the metal body will be 20% thicker, increasing the strength
3. The protruding edges of the stamped body will be recessed so that they don't catch on small steps on the floor

These improvements will be available on these wheels within a month.
