Sure-Grip Fame Artistic Indoor Wheels - Made of Quality Urethane - 97A Durometer & 57mm Diameter - High Performance Skating Wheels - Comes in Set of 8 with Diverse Color Options - Clear Red

I purchased new sure grip fames and the stock wheels that came w/ the skate were a bit to sticky for me 95a/57mm. I purchased these thinking they were 97a as the description states, but after more research on other sites, I see they are actually 95a as well! So just know Sure Grip Fames artistic (clear or opaque) are 95a hardness. The 57mm was accurate. Both the clear purple and clear read are lovely looking wheels, just a no go for me as I want a harder base.

Mine arrived today by Fed Ex & I can't wait to try them out at the rink this weekend. The pics show the Sure Grip wheel next to my old clear wheels- it's like my skates got a makeover! They will fit an 8mm bearing but while the outside bearings push in somewhat easily, the inside bearing (back side of wheel) will seem impossible at first if doing it by hand. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. The trick is after you put the outside bearing on the wheel, put the other bearing on the axle, lay the skate on its side on the floor and with the heels of your hands use all your weight to press the wheel onto the 2nd bearing. It will pop in after a few seconds!

If you are worried about the purple color issue described in some other reviews, don’t worry. The wheels are as pictured and are a beautiful deep purple color. Also, these wheels changed my life. I was skating on hybrid wheels at the rink and switched to these which are quite hard, and they changed my indoor skate experience entirely. Much faster, smoother than other (softer) wheels I’d tried and of course better than the rentals at the rink. These are for artistic skating so can be used for tricks and have very easy movement with little grip. Definitely recommend for indoor skating especially if you are experienced.

Love these wheels! They look like a piece of candy and are fabulous on the rink floor! Comes in a set of 8 and are a perfect addition to your skates!Let’s roll!!! You won’t be disappointed!

I LOVE THESE WHEELS!!! I have been skating on stock wheels and bearings for years, and I realized that they were holding me back. So after much research, I decided to try these wheels along with Kwik Zenith bearings. I am completely pleased and delighted, I feel like these wheels give me the speed and agility to do the kind of tricks I have always wanted to do! I do jam and artistic freestyle skating in tennis courts. These wheels are great for tennis courts or other smooth surfaces. These are definitely not for rough surfaces. Also they need 8mm size bearings; I had trouble getting some of them in, but had my fiance help me and it worked!

I really want to like them but without a bearing press these are close to impossible to get the bearings in. It’s not super hard the get them in the outside openings but the inside ones are close to impossible. After fighting with them for an hour I’ve given up. Can’t return them since there’s bearings in half of them… SOL until I can get my hands on a bearing press. On the other hand the purple wheels are accurate in color unlike some of the other reviews. Will update if I can ever get them on my skates to try out.

These wheels are good for the rink. They roll really fast. The color is really pretty. A true clear red. The only downside (reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) is that because they are so hard you can feel every little bump and crack when skating.

These are my favorite indoor wheels to skate on. I love they way they feel and glide on the rink. They make transitions and spinning feel as smooth as butta. Great for artistic or jam skating.
