I went old school on the wheels as the "asterisk" were ones I never really liked and they were kinda rough looking, so I replaced them. I also replaced the lid bail with a newer version that allows the lid to stand up more.

Nice! Looks like that lid bale makes quite a difference. I need to hurry up and get one.

Looks great! The newer lid bale is totally worth the $40ish bucks. Makes a big difference, have it on both of mine.

I got them off of Amazon and i searched for Weber parts, don't forget if you are getting wheels for Performers they are 8" and not 6" like for Kettles.

Ok, thanks. I checked Weber's site and the lid bail is like $24.00 but it doesn't mention new and improved..
I have this type of performer. The wheels are same as my kettles 6".

I think your grill already has the new lid bale on it. I think when the switched to the bolt on taco handles, they started putting on the 65188 lid bales

I think this is the old style like I have.
Did you guys have to drill that bottom strap hole lower, or is this just a swap out using the existing holes?

If that's the one you have then def get the 65188. It's a direct bolt on replacement....easy peasy.
Might want to use some 1/4"-20 stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers on the new one when you install.
