Default Wheel Dollies

I would like to pickup some wheel dollies. The ones that sit under each tire so you can roll your car to any place in your garage you like. Does anybody know of a good set to purchase for use on our vettes? I've got the C5 Z06 Wheels.

Thanks.

Sorry, I guess I thought they were pretty much all the same...??? Nothing special needed, just a nice heavy duty set that will roll nicely!! I have a set in my storage unit, sorry no pics. As long as you get a majority of the tire on it, you should be good to go!! Mine are 10 inches wide I'm guessing? Maybe 12?

Good luck!!

I just got a flyer in the mail from Harbor Freight and they have a pair of dollies for $29.99 Their number is 32052. The HF website doesn't show them on sale so you probably have to get the flyer as there is a coupon needed to get the sale price.

These dollies have a 1000 lb capacity each with cast iron wheels. Should work for storage or just moving the car around a garage. They are 15 3/4" wide at the outside edge so measure the rear tires to make sure they would fit. Fronts will be no problem.

We use these and they are good qaulity and the wheels on the dollies move easy. Moving the car around in the garage sideways is easy in the back, but the front is much heavier (the heavy engine . Usually, it takes about 2 people to move our car around in the garage.

I found that ecklers was the cheapest, but shipping was kinda expensive because they weigh a ton.

From Ecklers web site:
