| Got my BRT edition Cartwheels yesterday and thought I would give a quick review on them. I am not going to ‘score’ each individual section but rather just give a rough breakdown. 
First impressions: The colours and shape are very nice and EXACTLY the same as pictured on the website. I have brought coloured wheels from other companies in the past and they often look quite different in person (usually lighter). Performance: When I heard these wheels felt like a combination between Flatface and Oaks I have to admit I was rather sceptical…how wrong I was. Unlike many other wheels on the market these don’t have a cheap plasticy feel to them…they grip VERY nicely…particular on wooden ramps. The grip factor is a bit less than that of Oaks but substantially more than Flatface and Winklers! They roll fairly smoothly though not as smooth as say Flatface, Winklers or Y’s though this difference isn’t too noticeable and doesn’t affect the performance in the least. Overall:I really am pretty damn impressed with these wheels from my experiences so far. The price is insanely reasonable considering the high quality and the grip-factor make them PERFECT for shredding on both rough and smooth surfaces. I have to be honest, I still prefer my Oak RV2’s but these make for an awesome back-up and worthwhile investment  http://www.cartwheels.bigcartel.com/- Jono |

| I'm really glad that you like them man! They should start to really wear in after an hour or 2 of shredding!
Looking great on your set up! |

| Heaps happy to hear everyone liked the review so much  REALLY do enjoy reviewing products (of any description)...I actually hold back writing more reviews as I didn't think that many people where interested in reading them...seems I was mistaken  If users are happy to keep reading them I am MORE than happy to keep writing them in this format  - Jono

| These were the v1.0 david. On wood they generally did squeak when sliding!
The new V2.0 are a massive step forward though. They don't squeak so much but they're great! |
