AmazonDweller: These are 89a wheels which mean very hard. I was a bit worried, but they still have some cushion in them and don't shake my brain when riding on not-so-perfect-asphalt rode. grip was ok for typical fitness skate turns, UNLESS the surface is wet. When the surface is wet, you better stay home with these wheels. Thanks to the hardness, I could use T brake without worrying too much about damaging the side of the wheels. indeed, there was hardly any scratch after a few hard T braking.
I noticed some imperfection in the wheel mold (e.g., bearing socket alignment), so even perfect bearings may not let the wheel run forever after fitted. But for the price, I would not hesitate to buy another set (may be buy cheaper bearings?).

Thomas P. Grotenhuis: Wow! These are so much better and more durable than the cheap wheels and bearing that came with my skates. There is a small learning curve to putting things together so be prepared to warch some Youtube videos.

Daniel Naluai: I ordered 5 sets of these. It was funny, but not a problem, that they just dumped all the wheels and bearing sleeves in a box and shipped it. Like I said though, I don't care. These are not fragile items. The only annoying thing was that these were shipped FedEx and required a signature for delivery. I like the wheels, but they're not THAT nice.
The bearings came greased and ready to go. However, be sure to note that these sets DO NOT include spacers. I had spacers already so it was a non-issue for me, but just be aware. That is why the bearings do not come pre-inserted into the wheels. You have to provide your own spacers.

Blues Feel: Cost more than my 20 year old Bauer skates and well worth it. Tough enough for bad roads but sticks to concrete pretty well.

Amazon Customer: Wheels are great, I was so used to my old beat up ones that my dog almost killed me.

B Franklin: Last much longer than my 82A's that came with my skates. Also run very fast. The hole for the bearings was really tight which kind of worries me but I'll figure it out later.
update 4/8/16: Bought these December 14th and I'm only just now rotating them. Was a little bit worried about the grip because of the wheel hardness but so far no issues at all. I feel like they grip just as good as my 82A's that they replaced except they barely wear down at all.

TropicTango08TropicTango08: Really impressed, After cleaning and install It was my first time skating with these kind of wheels. The first 10 minutes I didn't like them, Felt very stiff and a little off balance... but after about an hour or so they were perfect. Avoid water at all costs, ***VERY SLIPPERY***. All other types of surfaces are smooth. Not as fast as I thought but deffinetly a longer lasting wheel. Also comes with double bearings for each wheel compared to the single you get from the store. Will buy again when I run these to the bone.
