Damn dude, 25 bucks for two metal cores with bearings already installed is pretty good, regardless of the fact that they'd almost certainly be shit. I had demon metal cores (the older Chinese ones) and they lasted me a good while, these can't be any worse. I'd say go for it.

These wheels are really fast and smooth. I got the red ones. Im getting these ones soon cause they wear out after 3 months

dude, i bought these wheels and they came today, they're really good, like eagle quality, but softer. i've ridden them for a total of about 20 minutes and they're holding up well. and the barrings that come with them are SUPER good quality. i honestly think these wheels will last. i'd get them.

I bought them just now just to try them after my pro wheel bearings seized. $25 for metal cores ready to go is great. Even if they break in a month it's still only $12 per wheel. I'll do a review after I get them and properly break them in.

Just got these, first impressions: (no riding yet, rainy)

Urethane feels pretty soft, closest comparison I can make is probably to the old (good) Yaks but not THAT soft. Site says 85a. No gouges or anything like I've seen on shitty Chinese wheels.

Anodize job was amazing. The cores are obviously very well machined.

Bearings have metal shields and have a Skate Wheels For Less .com label on them. No spacer is included, not sure if I'm going to jam my Razor spacer in or just ride it.

Just rode them today. Broke them in for about 20 minutes, then rode normally. These wheels are FAST and GRIPPY. The urethane slides (as in powerslide) less easily than my last wheels did (but still possible just more controlled), the ride is silky smooth, and no signs of dehubbing, wear, or tear after a good two hours of riding. For $12 a wheel with free bearings, these are fantastic!

Honestly these are an amazing value for how cheap they are. I think I might buy some more.

I'm going to get in contact with the distributor and see if I can get the wheel manufacture information. I would LOVE to sell these wheels, I'm in love with this.
