Wheels on a budget?

Okay so my wheels that I have now are starting to ovalize, and I'm looking at my options for Easter. I've got like a $40 - $60 budget, and I've come up with a few options for wheels + bearings.
Bearings: Alright, for bearings, I was thinking Bones super Reds, they seem like the best bearings for the price point, my friend has regular Reds, and there reppin for him.

Wheels: This is where I'm undecided, I've got like 2 options.
Option 1: Yak Skats, I've heard these are decent, but for a front wheel they seem like they ovalize pretty quickly, which is why I need new wheels in the first place.
Option 2: Eagle Sports Solid Core, These seem like some pretty steezy wheels, but my friend had the 5 spoke version and a fingernail sized chunk had come out of the wheel. So these are questionable.

Any other options would really help!

Demon cores. And don't ever get scats. If you do get yaks, get metal core mechanics.

yeah i had my demon cores for about 7 months and they were great.
i would get either vertx, demons, or blunt 110s

out of the two options, eagles for sure. bearings, get regular bones reds, the super reds arent worth the extra $$
 
get some root industrie wheels!!! they are $40AU each and have a warranty if they crack or de-hub until it meets the metal core!! scoot on scooter hut!!

id go with eagle, make rure you ride them in so they dont dehub in 5 mins, and just get any bearings, theyre all the same.... if you take good care of them they'll go fast, make sure you get spacers too

Okay so as far as breaking the wheels in goes, is it gonna be bad if I break them in on my street? They just took the cleaners over them so there's no rocks.

BEADY!
DONT LISTEN TO ANYBODY, buy blunt 110mm wheels there 25 each and really good, i dont have them but quality vs price paid is great, much better than the 100mm version
