seriously, if any more kids say metal cores are the BEST WHEELS EVER LIKE OMFG, I'm going to buy a plane ticket to their general area, find them, and kick them square in the nuts. Metal cores are NOT WORTH THE MONEY. You can get somewhere in the vicinity of 20 wheels and all the bearings for the price of 2 metal cores, heck, you can get a fucking scooter for the price of a metal core. If you want a good wheel that doesn't de-hub, then my answer to you is there is none as long as you ride sketchy. Learn to get speed by pumping tranny and flowing the park, or just plain hauling ass, and don't try and do un-caught triple/quad whips over everything you see, because then you'll run out of wheels faster than you'll run to the shitter after eating some bad mexican food.
