has anyone had these? how are they overall (dura./slida./flatspots)? and are they the same hardness (82b) as there other wheels (cores,crystals,boltz)?

I had the pink ones
thay were pretty good
but after 3 months they were shaped funny from lots of slides.
like the wheel was 3 mm's smaller on the far left side of the wheel than the right.
but i was used to it...so it really didnt bug me
they were nice wheels for the overall proce

i have the rowley supernaturals...they should be somewhat similar...

Overall, I really liked them. My wheels prior to them were regular Chocolate wheels and after switching, I noticed a major difference. The wheels were a lot harder, they slid good, and they were a lot faster. Durability-wise they were great. When I rode my board around school (rough ground, little pebbles everywhere, etc) they held their ground and didn't chip/crack/break. As far as flatspots go, it took a long time for them to form. Actually, I don't think they'd be considered flatspots, I guess I'd call it the "butterfly effect" (sorry, I'm not sure of the correct term), where the wheels just end up flattening at an angle. The only gripe I had with them is that since they were hard wheels, I'd often trip on pebbles and small rocks, but other than that, it served me well.

They are really rice wheel. I had 99A and it never got any flat spot. I do a lot of power slide stops too, it has not one flat spot. I had this wheel for like 3 to 4 month. Plus they are really light too.

I heard they last a long time, especially the white ones.

I have those exact ones.
They are super smooth when you ride, slide well and last good.

BTW: I had Rice air cores which are the same material just a little lighter. They were awsome wheels. Lasted a long time and didn't flat spot. They slid awsome, like, really really well.
