They are similar to "Healys" sneakers.  Anyone know where I can find these type of wheels for my arcade cab?

DeLuSioNaL,  Did you ever find these casters that you were speaking about?  I purchased a pair from Happ that seem to match the description you are talking about. Here is the link.  http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/acesor/33119800.htm

I wanted to add a very simple 'duh' discovery I had with my casters causing rocking under certain circumstances as mentioned by GinsuVictim above.  I tried pointing the two front wheels outward (they were pointing toward the front/back from all the moving of the cabinet).  I couldn't believe what an improvement that gave in the overall stability of the cabinet.

Happ sells them, so Divemaster probably does too.

I have some like that that came on the back of my cab.  Nothing on the front.  I just tilt it up like it is its own dolly and can wheel it around.  I also put some sliders underneath the front corners and I can just slide it wherever I want.

I put two of those on the back of my cab, and two swivel casters (with brakes) on the front.  I don't remember what size I used, but they're pretty big.  I'd guess 3" without going over and measuring.
