Great wheels for the price
I bought these to replace the wheels I originally installed on my Loaded Icarus: 80mm Orangutan Kegels (purple). Overall, very pleased with quality of the wheels for the price. They are HUGE - I wanted to try "edge of ridiculously big" wheels - they didn't disappoint. I didn't use the bearings they came with, instead opting to clean and reinstall my existing bearings. Even without the bearings, these are a great value. I've put probably 200 miles on the new wheels at time of writing. I do speed and distance riding mostly, with a lot of pumping, but no downhill (Florida has no hills anyway :/ )Pros: Wheels seem to be built accurately... they spin true and they are all built to the same dimensions as far as I'm able to tell (which means to within some fraction of a millimeter). So far they've held up really well and haven't suffered any chips or damage to the rubber. They grip well, haven't had any slides while pumping, and no wheel bite.Cons: Nothing that detracts from the value. One thing that could be improved: Since the hub is centered, it could technically be installed either way on the wheel. But there are different surface shapes / finishes on either side of the wheel. So you have to be careful which direction you install them, and you can't rotate the direction if one side gets chipped. But this is the same with all longboard wheels I've seen.Notes: - I didn't use the bearings they came with, so can't speak to them. They're only single shielded and not a well known company. Since these wheels cost 1/3 the price of equivalent name brands, I suggest treating yourself to some nicer bearings with the savings. Nice bearings last longer than wheels if you take care of them. - These wheels have a centered hub. This could be a problem if your current setup uses off-center hubs and you're going up in wheel diameter. Thankfully these are a bit narrower than the Kegels I replaced so that made up for the centering and they work fine. - They have a chamfer on the edge of the wheel (see pictures). I prefer this as the wheels last longer, but this is personal preference. The Kegels had a sharp edge contacting the ground that was full of little gashes and breaks after a year. - These wheels are proof that good wheels don't have to cost $100. I wish the name brands would focus on actually making their products better instead of just using flashy advertising to be able to charge more for a piece of rubber.

Awesome wheels for the price
I use these wheels on my daily board and my long distance board. These wheels can do it all except slide. They grip well for pumping and riding on the roughest terrain.They are big and have a harder durometor than 82A, so they work great for holding momentum for long distance or just riding in general as well as work great for a big guy like me (i'm 6 foot 4 and 240 pounds). They've been my go-to for my last 3 daily/LDP boards and i have yet to see any wear and tear. one pair has easily seen 200+ of some rugged landpaddling and they still look fine. I highly recommend these for long-distance riders and bigger riders. Compared to how expensive Kegels, Flywheels, or Speedvents are, these wheels are great deal. As far as the bearings go, I only ride Zealous bearings so i can't tell you how good the Owlsome bearings are.

Wheels good, bearings bad
The wheels are cool, they are a good density, but the bearings they came with have already failed on me. Two faulty bearings in one box is two too many. Just get these for the wheels, and use better bearings. I bought these for the wheels, wasn't even expecting the bearings, so I still give them 4 stars.

Great Price for 90mm wheels
If I was using these wheels on smooth concrete or indoors, I would give 5 Stars. These 90 mm wheels are large but too hard for rough surface for me. I bought The Abec 97 mm Wheel for $100 plus tax 77a , then I return them and Got the Abec 107 mm 74a, much better but cost over $140. So you can see the Major difference in price. If you are riding smooth surface Owlsome 90mm gets 5 Stars.

Great product, suprisingly good bearings.
Rolls all over the place! the bearings are good despite what people say about them. Rolls great and quiet so far. only a week on the bearings.These were put on my carver c7 spaced at 19 inches apart. Pumping is very efficient due to the grip. Im using it to commute and to go the distance.
