they are fast and grippy, but they dehubbed the first time riding them, the wheel has no rebound suport in the core. The bearing hole is thin and oalized slightly on my front wheel I'm still riding on (one Week), but I had to put a different wheel on back. mabee okay for kids but not a pro wheel

I disagree. i am not very happy with my white 100 snowballs.
and i E-mailed c4 twice and no response. and marcel once and no response in days.
and my friend has gotten an e-mail back from marcel in hours.
i have a huge flat spot and chunks in my front wheel.
although back one is running good.
