There is really nothing much to say about these casters, except that, there only different thing from these and the Lifelong is the name lol.

- they also don’t make any sound when rolling the chair, great for people who are looking for quite rolling casters
The only thing that makes these casters somewhat unique is the style, there are a little bit different when it comes to the style and the design but they are pretty much the same as the lifelong casters.
I bought these casters just to test them before I included them in this article.
well, I only used them for 4 days just to test how they glide on the carpet and I was quite impressed with them.
If I had to rate these wheels, I would give them a 10 out of 10 just because they didn’t scratch or damage the carpet since I was using them daily for about four days.
If I had to describe these casters in five words, I would say *smooth rolling quality chair wheels*... great for all types of floors.
If you care about the style or the design, then the Oasis casters are by far the most stylish casters in this top six list.

I got the 8t8, great caster wheels, cheap and very reliable... I don’t have any complains.
I got these casters a few days ago after reading this article I’m very happy with my purchase, I would highly recommend these caster wheels to anyone looking for high quality but cheap replacement wheels for office chairs.
I have hardwood floor in my office and these wheels roll just fine, I also have a large carpet in my office and these wheels also glide just fine on the carpet.
There is no such thing as perfect wheels but for now I honestly do not have anything to complain about...
Elon
I purchased the 8t8 just because the lifelong ones were out of stock, I haven’t received my order though, I just hope that these wheels won’t give me any issues along the way.
Durbany
You can always return them if they don’t work for you, thanks for reading my blog, it really means a lot.. cheers.
Joe Troll
Hey durbany, I was wondering which wheels should I buy that will not attract dog hair, my dog is always in my office and the previous caster wheels that came with the chair were attracting do hair, which wheels would you recommend that will not attract dog hair in the future?
Durbany: get the lifelong wheels… the reason I recommend the lifelong wheels is because I personally use these wheels as well, these are my favorites.
I have two dogs, they are always in my office and I have never had any issues with them, they haven’t attracted dog hair at all.
Jerry Oaksmith
I purchased the lifelong ones, very good wheels, they glide just fine on the carpet.
To anyone who is thinking about getting the lifelong caster wheels, these don’t work on IkEA chairs.
I bought these wheels for 6 of my work colleagues because there is seven of us sharing the same office and no one has complained about these wheels.
Our office has thick carpet and these wheels glide smoothly, they don’t get stuck at all, they were also very easy to install, you wont even need any tools when putting them on the chair.
Sean
Hey, am looking for caster wheels that have locks on them, none of these wheels have locks… what must I do? I don’t want my chair to keep sliding while I’m working. What wheels should I buy?
Durbany
Bro, none of these wheels will make your chair slip.
These wont moves unless you move the chair purposefully, none of these wheels needs locks, they don’t slide unless you move the chair.
Get the lifelong wheels. They glide smoothly.
The lifelong casters will help keep your office chair from sliding around even if you have slippery floors such as hardwood, laminate or vinyl.
Read the lifelong customer reviews on amazon, none of the customers have complained about these wheels slipping.
You wont regret getting these wheels bro, you can always return them if they do not work for you… you really don’t have anything to lose.
Rita Gomes
The lifelong, Owl, Saddox and the opttico are exactly the same, the only difference is the name tag…
I think that these four caster wheels are made from the same manufacture and then all these different companies are just putting their logo and make it sound like they were made by them.
Most of the products listed on amazon are basically coming from china then Companies in the State put their brand names to fool us customers by making us think that these products are made here in the State.
To anyone looking for long lasting casters that also won’t tear your carpet, I would say that, out of all the six casters listed here, I would recommend the lifelong wheels.
The reason I recommend the lifelong casters is simple because I what I also use on my office chair and they are great so far. Have been using these casters for about 8 months now and they still glide and roll smoothly like the same day I started using them.
Durbany
Totally agree with you bro… these are quite the same lol. I had a really hard time trying to describe each, I have tested all of them, but I kinda liked the lifelong.
Hugo Boss
I have carpet with short hair and I don’t know which wheels will work best for me, can you tell me which wheels are good for carpet with short hair? Im really lost, please help. Thanks.
Durbany
get the seddox caster wheels. The seddox description has stated that, their wheels are great on carpet with short hair.
HUnter
Hey durbany, great post as always but all these wheels are the same.
I checked all the descriptions of these wheels on amazon and there is really nothing different from each.
I’ll get the lifelong ones since a lot of people are also recommending them plus they have quite a lot of positive reviews and a lot of people have given them about 5 stars.
I have been looking for replacement wheels for like two days now and amazon has basically the same thing with a different name.
My office has laminate floors and carpet, so I guess the lifelong ones will do the job for me. Great post as always, enjoy…
Isaac Wayne
To anyone looking for wheels that doesn’t make noise than the 8t8 is that you should buy.
The original wheels that came with my office chair kept making annoying noise when I was gliding the chair, that has never happened since the day I started using the 8t8 wheels.
They roll quietly and also glide smooth on the carpet.
What I mostly love about these wheels is that, they are a very strong rubber, not just any rubber but soft PU rubber, which means they are safe even on sensitive floors such as hardwood.
Another thing that makes these wheels attractive is that they are transparent, they will definitely match any office chair design.
Jake
Lifelong are the best caster wheels on the market right now, I’m fully behind these wheels, I have been using these wheels for over a year now and nothing can be compared with these wheels.
Yes, there are a lot of other high-quality caster wheels available on the market right now that you guys can choose from but, I personally believe that the lifelong casters are the best of the best.
The lifelong caster wheels will work with all floor types, these wheels will even glide smoothly even on graveled concrete floors, what more can you ask for?
