First Impression
Of the wheels were nice they were nice and had a very unique shape I have not seen done on any other wheels before. They came poly bagged like any other wheels nowadays and came with tons of extras such as bushings, shitloads of stikers ,and extra bearings.
10/10

Shape
Like i said above was unlike any other wheel which makes these almost one of a kind, because most wheels are either box shaped, old school, or a street shape. I usually prefer a street wheel because I like a slim riding surface but these certainly changed my preference, because i felt it was easier to ride bowls, ramps, and just flat ground with more control. You can definitely tell that Sow knows his way around a lathe and achieve the shape he wants to make.

Material
The material used reminds me of a Brandon Roberts wheel, the material is my preference hard yet it has enough grip. It does not squeak that much though (sorry for those who get wet over wheels screeching from power slides) but it has a little squeak on smooth wood and granite. I also believe these are some of the most durable wheels i have tried. The wheels ride spectacular outsides and don't crack or go to shit outside on smooth and gritty concrete. I usually find with most wheels i have tried that they have treads like skate wheels which add grip but attract dirt, however since these have no tread and have enough grip for me at the same time they rarely get dirty and sustain the amount of grip they have.
10/10

Bearings
These have excellent bearing produced by Samurai Precision (which I thought closed before I quit which was in early 2010) But the bearings are great and quiet but the more you use them the more noise it brings which happens in skateboarding or any thing with bearings. Unfortunately that means no wheel can be quiet and completey smooth forever if you use wheels alot you loose both of those things with every bearing with that being said (even though I have replacements) there is no way of avoiding it so no bearing is perfect but these are good so far (and i have had these for 2 and a half weeks) should last long i will continue to update as i use them more.
9/10

Performance
Of these wheels are spectacular with adding all of the things above together. And for the price (which will be explained in detail later) this is great. They are up there with my favorite wheels (anything o material, roll 9s, and g6x's) making these great for me. They have enough grip to where I don't slide around yet i can get the smoothness I like from hard wheels. They did take a little bit of time to get used to though but that is with any wheel.
9.5/10

Conclusion
These are great wheels with great performance my only recommendation is make them backless so they are compatible with Y trucks and BRTs. The material is great and the shape is nice aswell. I think the bearings should last long but i wont be mad if they don't (cause i got replacements bitches). I also want to elaborate a little on the price,IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO BUY CHINA WHEELS WHILE THESE EXIST.Not while SOW wheels are 25 bucks shipped, I understand that money gets tight (because i have been in situations like that) but when a spectacular wheel cost anywhere from 30- to 60 bucks you cant go wrong. The only thing that differs the wheels from top companies is Shape (not in a bad way I think the wheels are unique),company exposure, and price. These wheels are great like alot of wheels and i think you cant go wrong with 25 bucks for a set of wheels like these. I have said this before and i will say it again SOW could easily charge 30-35 bucks for these and i would still buy them. With that said don't be surprised the score is..................................................................................
9.5/10 if you would like an explanation or like to ask question about product just post below
