Ok I need the strongest/ longest lasting/ best wheels you can get. Today I went to my local shop to get a new set and all they had was world industries. So I asked the stoner clerk if they were good, and he was all like "Yea, dude. You'll you'll like em to cause they are soft". I was like I dont want soft wheels, hes like "Naw dude these are nice and they will last you last a while!" So I got them, after a whole day of skating today (8:30 am to about 5 pm) I kept hearing a scraping sound so I look at my wheels, ha I didnt have any. They were practically gone, I was almost riding bearings. Needless to say I wasnt happy with mister stoner.

Anyways I need the strongest/ longest lasting/ best wheels you can get.

Thanks,
Cameron

buy a couple sets of blanks in a harder urethane.. like.. maybe blankdecks in 99A? i dont know.

if you buy cheap wheels, then you could get two or three sets for the price of normal wheels, and theyll last pretty normal.. but you have three sets so its three times as long.

Ill look into that. What about Ricta or Autobahns?

rictas are pretty hard. and autobahns are good wheels, but theyre generally pretty normal.. just look at the durometer on them.. most of them are dual durometer, with a 101A core and a 99 or something outer core.. which is pretty good.

I doubt Autobahn's cores are harder than diamonds...

I doubt could completely wear down a wheel in 8 and a half hours...

They're a crap brand which makes crap products for little kids.... soft wheels = 8.5 hours of riding.
