A very mellow, quiet and great looking wheel. Likes to roll and handles pretty well over sidewalk cracks.
I don't do any sliding so I'm not quite sure how they handle in those situations.

I didn't expect these wheels to be fast at all by just touching them, but they hold speed really well, and I think that it has to do with the core material. Very well balanced, and they look really sick and retro on my surf-style board.
