nomad, it looks like the same thing on mine, but I think they just have free play so they will sort of help contour to the roundness of our noggin's. Just a thought.

Same here.  I have one sport that the wheels have looked like they are going to fall off since I got it, but they've stayed strong for several months.

Get to working on your entry for the Clear HeadBlade and you won't have to worry about it any more.  ;)

Ditto all of the above. Straight out of the package, my HB Sport wheels looked a little off kilter. However, I don't think it has any negative effect on my results.

If they ever go kaput, just stroll the toy aisle of a store and find a hot wheel car with matching wheels!  ;D

Find a better set of wheels at any craft or model shop.

Been using the same sport model since March and never had a wheel fall off, got a flat or two but that's about it ;D   Seriously though I think the other bros are right, it is just a design quirk that doesn't effect performance.

I guess I'll have to ease up and do the pit stop gimmick.
