Hollow cores for street? Are you kidding?

Get 841 wheels or PROTO sliders or wait for Tilt wheels to drop.
 
-__- ^^^ almost every every hollow core is for street riders, look who's on em.

but probably sliders, i ride miles everyday, way more then i should and after 4 months they aren't even fully squared, and have about 65% life left.

From the ways I've seen hollow cores break, I'd imagine that they'd snap under pressure from large drops. I've seen and met people who have broken them in under a week. Eagle used to be on top of their game but after all these other wheel companies came out and they started making District parts, it seems like they've really slipped out of the wheel game.

I'd recommend 841 wheels or anything made by ScooterZone. I'll be trying VertX wheels next, though.

And for the people who say "you get what you pay for," bullshit. I've broken more Protos, Phoenix wheels, and Eagles than any other wheel I've ridden.

actually all the wheels that broke are from a bad batch, the new ones are SOOOOOO much better, the wont break on you like the first ones.

edit: sliders are over rated, mine are already chunky and they are way to slippery, try vert x, they sound beasty as hell
