It looks like this two wheel package is no longer available. No loss. The shipping cost almost as much as the wheels. Amazon does have it in a 4 wheel package; a better deal.

So, I see the reviews and some say the wheels are slower. I know why. When I took out the bearings. There was no spacer (standoff) in the center of the wheel! The stop at the center is from spokes that extend from the rim. But, when you tighten the axle, it squeezes the center and distorts the casing of the bearings. That's what causes the wheel to slow down. It took me a while to figure this out. The bearings, by the way, have a rubber casing, not metal like the originals.

Luckily, I had the spacers from the old wheels. When I put them in, voila, the wheel spins flawlessly.

Still, I notice the rubber urethane seems a little softer and cheaper than the original Razor wheels. But they ride smooth as butter once you put in the spacer. You need a little experience to remove and install the spacer and bearings (two in each wheel). If you don't have the experience, you may ruin your bearings.

Update: I've now used the wheels for a little while, the rubber is soft and distorts when you brake and skid. This wheel will wear quickly. I do not recommend this wheel. I'm going to try the YAKs.

I figured the better bearings would make a difference in the speed of the scooter, however either the wheels are softer than the original wheels or the bearings are no different than Abec 5's, because the scooter now seems slower rolling than before.
The shipping charges were higher than the cost of the product.

i purchased these wheels and the shipping cost more than the wheels and then the wheels broke after two weeks of use.DO NOT BY THESE WHEELS

These are perfect for our little ones scooter! She absolutely loves the color! I did have to have her dad put them on though...to make sure the bolts whatever were tight enough!

The kids just started to use them so I can't say much other than they like them more than the ones that they had with flat sides after they wore them flat in multiple spots.
