About This Item
When I ordered these replacement wheels for my Honda HRN216, I figured this would be a simple swap and that all wheels are the same. Turns out that is mostly the case but not 100% true. The installation is straightforward—just remove the single screw, pull off the old wheel, slide the new one on, and retighten the screw. But after putting the new wheel on, I noticed two things:1) Fit: the original Honda wheels have a "lip" on the inside that bridges a gap between them and the plate on the mower, which the GIGOOL wheels do not have (see the marked - up pictures). 2) The new GIGOOL wheels make more noise when spinning compared to the original Honda wheel. It is too early to tell if either of these issues will have a real impact. From a functional standpoint, they seem to be properly driven, and the mower has no issue moving. See the attached video to compare the sound of the two wheels and watch the new wheel being driven (lifted in the air). They appear to be made out of the same durable material as the original Honda wheels and should last just as long. If you can find the Honda original wheels for close to the same price, they might be the better value. If I run into any trouble with these in the near future due to the issues noted above, I'll update the review.
These mower wheels are the same size as my mower's OEM wheels. They fit the rear wheel spline perfectly and the gears inside the wheels mesh perfectly with the mower's drive assembly teeth. The tread is exact on both my original wheels and these replacement wheels and the wheels seem to be constructed with the same surface (lawn) contact material.The only problem I can see is that the replacement wheels do not have the embedded lip on the inside facing side of the wheel and as a result, the wheels don't extend into dust/debris cover on the axle housing. Note the difference in the provided pictures (one that shows the installed original wheel and the installed replacement wheel and the side by side (edge) pictures of the two wheels.This difference can allow debris to enter the wheel cavity and contact the drive gears. This may not be an issue in pristine mowing environments including dry grass, but in more harsh conditions I sense this could be a problem.

Excellent quality and a cheaper option to oem ones!
Works as expected.
Awesome!
Perfect Fit - easy to install
Lawn mower wheels were exactly like original Honda wheels for much less. Would highly recommend.
perfect fit
Very pleased. Wheels fit perfectly. Exact replica of original
These wheels were a perfect fit for my mower. They seem identical to the original wheels that were worn out after 6 years of use.
These tires did an excellent job of replacing the original ones. They perform very well on the mower and the yard. Very good item!
Perfect replacement and effortless installation. The only thing that would improve these would be deeper tread.
Easy to put on and look great.
It took less than five minutes to install these new wheels. They fit exactly as they should, and now the mower propels itself much stronger. If they last a long time, which I expect them to, then I would definitely buy them again.
Perfect fit
Identical to factory wheels.
The rubber wore completely out on the original wheels on my Honda assisted drive push mower but the replacements were $28 each at Home Depot.These look like exact replicas and were less than that for the pair.Note- MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT ONES FOR THE EXACT MODEL NUMBER OF YOUR MOWER. The first ones I ordered looked the same but the gear on the backside was a different size.
Good part; good price.
These wheels fit great. Same exact size and seem to be well made.
If you have to mow a lot of grass throughout the week. You'll get just about one full year out of these. They're not that expensive and they fit my mower so I'm gonna probably buy them again. The picture I included are these exact wheels that I replaced my lawnmower with almost exactly a year to the day.
Look and feel like they are durable, fit perfectly, appear to be an identical replacement for the originals. Fair price for a quality product. It's great having traction again. Happy with my purchase.
Installed in minutes. Watch the YouTube video on how to set up for a swap out. Glad I did
These replacements tires were a perfect match/fit and worked great. Super easy install too.
A direct replacement for my Honda Lawnmower HRN216. They even look like OEM quality.
