Rollerex VXT500 Inline Skate Wheels (8-Pack) (Various Size & Color Options Available) -Indoor Outdoor- Intended for Roller Blade Wheel Replacement

My 150 pound, hard skating son has gotten many hours of skating on very rough pavement so far. He does rotate the wheels to wear them evenly. These have been holding up as well as some higher priced 84A wheels that we have tried in the past. He says they have good grip and are comfortable, not too hard. They definitely won't last as some 89A that we found for a good price but they are a very good value to be sure. Compared to the 78A that have come on the last pair of skates we got him these will literally last 4 times as long. He wore those out in a couple weeks the way he skates...nearly daily for hours. It looks like these certainly could make it 2 months maybe more. It's hard to find good information about how long wheels will last...so I hope this helps someone. My son is over 150 lbs., skates pretty aggressively...not tricks just forward and backward skating, hours at a time at least 4 days a week on average. 30-40 hours per month. Basically all rough asphalt and concrete. He didn't get half that many hours out of the wheels that came with the skates...these might last for 60-70 hours before he really needs to change them.

-I use Rollerex for both city and slalom skating, and they last just long enough to be the best wheels for the price.-Obviously your bearings will have the greatest affect on your speed, so I would recommend shopping elsewhere for bearings, but as far as wheels go, I wouldn't buy anything else. And I've had my share of bad, plasticky wheels-One reviewer mentioned their wheels were oscillating. This is caused by either excessive speed skating downhill (wheels larger than 80mm are better for high speeds) or poor bearing/spacer quality. Bones or Yellow Jacket bearings are highly regarded brands and will likely outlast your wheels with proper maintenance.-Finally, the bright, shiny color is good for monitoring wear, so you know when to rotate and when to replace.(I took picture of a wheel from my last Rollerex setup that I'm only now replacing after months of heavy use. Remember to rotate and you'll get a lot of use out of these)

I rollerblade on a state paved trail typically 5-6 days week for roughly 1-2 hours. These definitely have a decent grip and make rough patches of pavement feel slightly smoother. I did need to rotate the wheels every other week, but compared to other 82a wheels this seems to be typical. If you skate only a couple times a week for a shorter amount of time these will last you quite a while. I put a lot of miles on them and am in need of a new set after 2 months. Realistically I could continue to use them for a few more weeks, but I'm all about speed and they're no longer at 80mm, ha! :) If you're a recreational skater looking to go back to your roots or just picking up skating I'd certainly recommend giving these a whirl!

I put the 72mm on my aggressive inline skates and they work ok. They felt smooth and buttery but I wish is that they were a little harder. They squish under my weight. I'm 214lbs. So if you guys at Rollerex is reading this, I'd love to try wheels that were 96A to 101A or 83B to 84B in terms of hardness. I think the squish helped the grip bit I think it made it feel more bendy than I'd wanted. I've had 72mm rated at 88A that came with my Aeons but they had less flex so in inclined to think the hardness ratings were a bit less that what was advertised.

For comparison, I previously used 78a durometer wheels that lasted less than 4 weeks. I have used them on smooth concrete and asphalt. I also use them on the metal skate ramps (half pipe and quarter pipe). They have enough grip for everything that I need to do, and they are very durable.

Just got them today and placed them on my Inline skates. They visibly oscillate (wobble) when spun. I read a comment about it and shouldve heeded the warning, but then another comment said that the bearings are the issue, I’ve placed Bones Super Redz ABEC 7 bearings and three other good kind of bearings in them and they still oscillate. I am going to still ride in them and see how they do but from first impressions they aren’t looking so good. Will update review if they improve.

Going on my first blade with my new wheels was awesome! My ride was so smooth, so fast and little effort needed (compared to rides on my worn out wheels). Installation was also super easy, including transferring my barrings onto my new wheels. I am very pleased with these wheels, and am already looking forward to my next order to get that super smooth/fast new wheel ride again!

The wheels are great for skating on pavement. I didn't realize the bearings were not included and had to figure out how to take my old bearing out and install them. nto the new wheels.

Pretty decent cheap wheels, despite being 85A it still wears down faster than a more expensive brand's 85A. But for its price no complaining, would recommend just purchasing slightly more expensive wheels off an established brands like fr, powerslide, etc

For some reason they are not very comfortable to ride
