I like these wheels. I got mine cheap as factory rejects, but they would have been worth paying retail for. If you want a softer wheel for street. These are the best I've ridden.

I bought these cheap as test wheels for sliding, and I'm happy with them. They are very slippery. You may want to think twice if you're looking for grip in the park. Then again I've not taken them to the park yet so maybe they hold lines better on smooth crete than on asphalt. Also, I haven't tried the original greenish-yellow formula just the white ones.

This is my new favorite. I've had it for two days, my arms and legs are killing me from skating so much, and I'm dying to go skate this thing again. It solves for me the only two weaknesses of the BE40 (a couple inches too long, too narrow). Feels a bit sturdier too.

This thing is awesome, but it is a hungry beast. Two days in my household and its already eaten a set of wheels a bushing, and one of my shoes. My cats and my 3 year old are afraid of it!
