Hahahahahahahahahah is this a joke?
Bol bars are super overpriced T bars, they're literally the exact same minus a small bend (which makes them weaker) and they're just standard 4130 heat treated chromo. So many people bend them and you can get bars twice as good for half the price.
R Willy bars are Alu, NEVER trust alu bars especially when they're 26 wide and waaaaay overpriced.
Kota bars are probably the best of the lot but you could still get better bars for cheaper.
T bars are good for park and feel the exact same as any other bars that don't have backsweep. If you like backsweep get something American made.

id be more worried with the cutouts slicing you up, youll cop that well before they bend and fuck they have destroyed some good riders
You're worried about cutouts?

where them one sit, yes. i got alloy bars, thick and easy to file smooth. crmo aint easy to file nor is it thick enough to be of any use

if you mean sliding by "power slides" then i would recommend the river wheels (the orange one) it has i think 89pu or au or whatever it is (basically the orange river is a little stronger or harder not that noticeable really) as most street wheels have 88 and the grippers i think 84. so if your sliding putting tons of side stress on your wheels your best option is the orange river wheels (i like orange but many don't lol) the blue river wheels only have 84 so they will wear down fast from power slides and stuff like that. sliders are nice they have 88 but that one number does make a difference a little imo. if you have a curved brake so your wheels wear down evenly this guy should last you a long time. they also have a lifetime warranty against dehubbing and a limited one for chunking. (proto may have one similar idk, they got some kind of warranty though)
Best choice 1.River wheels 89 (Orange) 84$ for the pair? (comes with spacers)
Second best choice 2.Proto Sliders 88 (Almost all colors) 80$ for the pair (comes with sticker XD)
(i think the only places you can get the river wheels currently is scooter hut and gryndo scooters. i think they stopped production for a while?)

2 pairs of wheel is gonna last longer than 1 in most cases, that the value of buying cheap wheels. plus the history of proto wheels and rivers which are pretty much the same wheel isnt exactly flawless. plus he said fast, no proto or river is faster than a normally made core (buff core tech seems to be the only difference as to why they are slower than others)

apex parts aren't shitty (probably just mad cuz can't afford em, and i make my own money so….) and i said nothing about apex parts anyways… besides my opinion is expensive parts are worth it but if you want cheap ones that last you 1/3 the time go ahead.

I've broken one cheap deck and dehubbed some crap wheels. and had the slit break randomly on some Tbars back when i borrowed my friends new scoot for like a month. so far all the parts I've payed good money on has lasted me 9+ months of riding on like 7-10 hours of riding a week. so i prefer to shell out a couple more bags of green then replace my wheels every 1-3 months

and what are cheap wheels $15-$30? if you're in triple digits in wheels then you had to shell out hundreds on hundreds more than if you would have gotten an expensive wheel that would last you 5-9 months. so your theory just imploded. $240 over 2.5-3 years for wheels or your crazy theory of hundreds of cheap wheels for half the price or less. so yea expensive wheels over> cheap ones.
