| I have some similar to those. Soldier Bar's SB4 wheels are similar although they don't have QC issues like ones in those pictures and they have bearing shields. I haven't set them up yet but I've set up some translucent versions of them. They're alright but the performance of other bearing wheels exceed them.
I am going to save the glow in the dark wheels for when I get some glow in the dark grip and just make a glowing setup and maybe get some glow in the dark sticker strips to stick on the deck or obstacles. |

| I'm riding some old closeup metal core wheels that are molded and really bumpy. Would they be better than them? |

| The wheels actually aren't THAT bad. They aren't perfect, but for the price they're worth it. And what they lack in performance, they make up in value. They're definantly a step up from metal cores.
But if i were you, i'd wait and buy jace wheels once they come back in stock. |

| if you have to use a cheap china wheel - i have had pretty good results with broken knuckle fingerboards on ebay. their single bearing wheels have been the most round that ive personaly used - and work good for the $5 price tag they cost.
but dont expect any good results from china bearing wheels. they are rock hard and slippery and a generaly ugly boxy shape to them...
me personaly - im ordering some sesh savers from no comply for $18 ish cause im tired of low quality molded china bearing wheels on my setup |
