Brand new, never been used, 8 - 80mm wheels from Hyper. This is the high-end Hyoctane model--a top-quality wheel for an advanced skater or racer. These wheels are an 80mm size which fits some, but not all skates. If you are unsure, please check your skate to know if this wheel fits as it is very, very large and will not work with most models of in-line skates. The 91 durometer is one of the hardest wheels you can buy. If you are sick and tired of buying expensive wheels and replacing them all the time, then this wheel is for you. It is extremely hard--that comes with some advantages and disadvantages. The big advantages are speed and durability. Because it is so hard and solid, your weight doesn't mush it down as it would a softer wheel. The footprint the wheel makes with the ground is smaller and the wheels roll with less resistance and friction--think of the way a racing bike has a skinny tire. The drawback to super hard wheels is that they give a less spongy ride. If you skate on relatively sooth surfaces it won't matter much at all. If you skate on bumpy, super-rough surfaces it will be a trade-off--you'll have wheels that last better, but ride a little less smooth. The wheel has an additive for extra grip and is suitable for indoor, but it is fantastic for outdoor use. Take my advice,--use it outdoors on roads, asphalt and other hard surfaces-the smoother the surfaces you skate on, the better this will be. It is a tall and narrow with a core that adds a spline of support in the center of the wheel giving you additional rebound when you push against the ground. With this wheel you get lots and lots of straight line speed. The hub is the standard 608 size--the kind that fits 99+% of all skates. This wheel is designed to maximize rebound. Simply put- less of your power is absorbed by the wheel and more of it is converted into SPEED. The wheel is a butter color--something of a light yellow look to it.
