The wheels them self don't rust but the bolts and brackets used to hold the wheels on do rust

They're metal. I would have guessed aluminum, but they're ferrous so probably some alloy.

I'm actually not sure what its made out of. The black parts are heavy grade plastic. whereas the silver parts are like some sort of (maybe galvanized) metal? It does not appear that rust will be an issue, but who knows if it's left out in the elements. If you're thinking carport I would say you're totally fine. Hope that helps. Still enjoying mine!!

Yes they are metal. They are holding up very well. There is no rust on them at all. The unit is a powerhouse, I really love mine.

The wheels are made of hard plastic covered with some sort of rubber. They are very sturdy and compatible with any surface in my home. Rolls easily on carpet, tile and hardwood. The only thing I am very disappointed with is the brackets that hold up the bar which broke after about six months of use. I asked about replacements and never got an answer.

NO evidence of rust yet. We moved in last Oct and put them out at that time. thks

The wheels themselves are hard plastic, the brackets for them are metal. They take a little adjusting but work pretty well.

I have installed them around a clawfoot tub three months ago. No rust yet. They are described as stainless steel and brass plated with nickel. If the roller bearings are non-magnetic, then they are probably nickel-plated brass. The rings are stainless steel which will not rust. The brass is my main concern--not for rust but for the nickel plating wearing off showing the yellow brass underneath. The yellow brass could then corrode to a dark green, almost black color with yellow tracks where it got scratched or worn off during the rolling. However, none of that has happened yet. The roller bearings should result in less scratching of the rings and the pole they roll over, but they will eventually wear, hopefully much more slowly than non-roller rings.

The wheels are a hard plastic but very sturdy. They lock so they do not move much at all. I have not had any problems with the wheels.

They are hard plastic. Cant say yet how they hold up outside since we bought this around Christmastime and any one in the midwest will tell you there was no playing outside here yet! They've been using these type wheels on Little Tikes wagons and play cars for years and seem to hold up ok. I can say that we really like this wagon.

The bolts are made of steel. Your bolts and wingnuts will RUST and freeze in place. Just a warning.

The packaging did not state the material. My guess is an alloy, brushed, similar to the wheels themselves, if not the same. Heavier than aluminum but not steel, except maybe the core of the cap. It's about the size of three half-dollar coins stacked, but it weighs a little less than that.

They are steel..It's the 2nd set I have had to put on my 2004 Ddoge Ram quad cab. They are a "new design" so the water won't have as easy access to the tube design & just sit in there & cause rust.. All in all was a very good purchase!

Yes, there is some surface rust; but, it does not seem to cause any problems with efficacy, given a few drops of oil on the moving parts and a spray or two of WD-40 from time to time. It seems to be made of reasonably decent steel, not stainless; but, a little surface rust helps it blend into the environment.

The Car Was Sold not to Long ago, But I am not Sure What was the Main Material of the Wheels? I Think Alloy ? But That is Just a Guess .All I Know is That The Wheels were Beautiful and I had a lot of Compliments on them and they sure Made the Mercedes Stand Out :-) I am Sorry But That is all I know about Them :-) Take Care !
