Wheelchair Molded Mag Wheels

These wheels are made of molded plastic or a composite and are commonly referred to as "Mag" or "Composite" or "Molded" wheels. They have a small number of wide molded spokes that are an integral part of the wheel and cannot be replaced or repaired when broken.

Molded wheels are heavier than spoked wheels.
They are not as flexible as spoked wheels so users may experience a rougher or harder ride.
The lack of flexibility makes them prone to cracking on hard impact.
