I think Wheelez used to be called Roolez.  I have roolez wheels over 20 years old that are still working.  I just call them Wheelez wheels, as thats the name the company uses today.  I haven't had any issues with any of the wheels, though I am careful concerning inflation.  I have a low pressure gauge I use to prevent overinflation

That’s a nice upgrade and I applaud the ingenuity. But sooner or later, you’d want to fish the salt and realize these wheels are ineffective on sand. There’s a reason people around here highly recommend Wheeleze or any dolly with balloon wheels, it’s a one and done deal. Might be pricey upfront, but it’s the last wheels you’ll ever use.

Correction....
Wheel Eez are not the only solution for salt anglers, but the best for long transport over soft sand. 
Case in point, I now fish exclusively salt, but rarely ever use my Wheel Eez as they are not necessary where I am.
Also,
It should be noted that Wheel Eez use a bushing instead of an actual bearing which will wear out quickly if pulled above walking speed. And the balloon wheels tend to hop when traveling over 5mph.
I AGREE that they are one of the best if not THE BEST option for soft sand, but don't confuse that with saltwater use.
Says the only guy on here that uses his atv to wheel his kayak to the sand/saltwater  :smt044

LMAO!

Ah yes, forgot about the name change from Roleez.  Thanks.
