You are actually wrong, each bearing wheel is made out of different material some are indeed made out of plastic, the thing is, there are many different types of plastics each with its unique features and feel. And what actually make these wheels better then tech deck ones is that tech decks wheels are made wich injection molds wich causes the wheels to be uneven and have mold marks with makes them roll real bad. Most "insert brand here" wheels beeing bering wheels or not are lathed wich creates a perfectly even surface and a completely round wheel. Thats the main reason, bearing also help because not only the make your wheels roll smoother but also they add a bit weight wich gives you better momentun on your tricks. There are urethane wheels but most of them are made out of plastic, the most remarkable one would be Substance Ultimates wich were made out of PEEK, google the material for more scientifical on it, all I can say is that its the most badass material i've seen, I couldnt scratch the wheels at all it rolled super smooth on every surface and didnt collect too much dirt. But JÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â??Ã?©rÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â??Ã?´me told me that the material was too hard to lathe and was very harsh on his tools damaging them, so he quit making those.
