Overview
The Red Star Sniper GT Wheels feature the new Hollow Core Technology. The Hollow Core is 23% lighter than standard cores, so every stride is quicker. Glu-Thane™ in the wheel provides great grip, and Dura-Thane™ additive increases durability. 74A hardness only. Ideal for fast indoor play.
- Ideal Playing Surface: Sport Court, Wood, Smooth Concrete

Comments: I'm 6'0" 165lb, been playing on these wheels on sportcourt for about 5 months, and the wheels are falling apart from the inside out. I do NOT RECOMMEND these wheels for serious play. I play 2 games a week, in a very competitive league, and though the outside of the wheels are barely worn in, the outer wheels are separating from the red core, and this is on 4 out of my 8 wheels I bought (3x 72mm and 1x 80mm). I have to buy new wheels now because these are crap. Getting Labeda Addictions next time.

Comments: I've used these wheels for 4 games now and there's no sign at all of any kind of wear on them, it's incredible. I play on sport court and I've used rinkrat hornets, labeda milleniums, grippers, and revisions and none of those can hold a candle to how these snipers are lasting. They're lighter than those wheels (though it's like 2 ounces per skate) and more durable. Milleniums in particular just seemed to chunk up on me after every game.
Buy these wheels, you won't be disappointed.

Comments: I bought these to replace a set of Labeda Addictions that weren't quite cutting it for me. I skate twice a week on all kinds of surfaces, but mainly smooth concrete. The Addictions were great for a few months but I never got the grip I was looking for. I decided to try these Red Stars mainly because of the price, and I could not have made a better purchase. It's like I'm on rails with these things and they're showing absolutely no signs of wear.
