Right out of the box, these wheels were super fast and smooth. I thought that gumballs smoothed out rough pavement, but then i rode these. There is no comparison for speed. These are by far the fastest wheels i have ever ridden.

I have the white 73a because i am only 100 pounds. After riding on crappy stock rock solid bushings where i could not even turn, these ride like a dream. i think they are nearly as good as some high end bushings, only i would recommend getting a harder duro if you're more than 100 pounds. Awesome for carving, cruising, whatever.

reds are great bearings for 20$ from what i have heard they are as good as many more expensive bearings with some speed cream, mine spun in the wheel on the board for 2 mins 30 sec the only bad thing is they let dirt and dust in so you have to clean them pretty often but they are hardcore bearings other than that
