Yes, I got my Aeron secondhand too, about 5yr ago, and it's been great this last year. I did replace the stock wheels with rollerblade casters[1] which are made by a bunch of companies (it seemed like OfficeOasis was one of the originals, so I went with them, though it looks like some of the more recent ones use sealed bearings for the swivel along with the wheel, which might be cool).

Oh how cool!

I never thought I could get excited about office accessories, yet here I am.

Don't forget to read the reviews though... rollerblade wheels are good for tiles/wooden floors, and not so much for carpet (they won't spin on carpet and just be annoying).
Really? I found that the larger roller blade wheels work much better than stock plastic castors on carpet.
Yes, I am using them on hardwood floors, good point!
