These wheels are excellent as long as you keep in mind they're an all around wheel. They do everything fairly well, but they're not great at any one thing.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: two years
What Setup are you running them on?: Currently they're on my Ed E. Street 57" w/ Indy 215's, Lucky swiss Khiro bolts, spacers, risers, bushings, pivot caps, and kingpins.
Typical Discepline?: carving, cruising, sliding
How much did you pay for them?: $16 wholesale
Where did you buy them?: Southshore Distribution
What are their weaknesses?: They're pretty slow for 76mm, but I think It's because they're so light.
What are their strengths?: They have a pretty good combination between grip and slide. On shorter boards they don't slide as controlled and predictable, but on this board they're a great all around wheel.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Lots of wheels this size, Big Zigs, Gumballs, Supersliders, Kryptos, etc., but they're all different in their ride characteristics.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

These wheels may be OK on a beginner downhill setup for someone who wants to learn how to slide stop or for a downhiller who is hesitant to reach higher speeds. otherwise, don't buy them, the urethane is really bad.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 3 months
What Setup are you running them on?: flex 4 vanguard with randal 180 with 79a khiro bushings.
Typical Discepline?: Carving, sliding stops
What are their weaknesses?: very bad momentum. make pushing very tiring. bad quality urethane also inhibits the wheel from reaching higher speeds.
What are their strengths?: these wheels slide quite will and show few signs of wear after much use
What similar equipment have you ridden?: well... a few other 76mm wheels
Would you recommend them?: No
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
