I am restoring a 22" kettle for a friend and am looking to replace the 6" wheels. The grill is a 1979, but the wheels need not be period correct. Simply looking for the best pricing for a new set of wheels/hubcaps. I found them on Bar-B-Que.com for $6.99 each, but when I went to check out they wanted $36 for shipping.
Well..... The modern OTS wheels are period correct for a 1979 kettle. So it's a matter of who has the best price.
You may want to call Weber CS, or try ereplacementparts.com or appliancefactoryparts.com. I know some of the smaller hardware stores (Ace & True Value) in St. Louis carry wheels, as well.
