I started on these wheels! I thought they were perfect to start out on because the gumminess for outdoors made it easier to go over cracks and twigs and things.
I was going back and forth between these and the gravities (which I ended up getting) when replacing my stock impala wheels. Ended up going for the gravities because I wanted a bigger wheel but they're both sooo pretty!
Ohh that was the other option I was looking at too! How do you like them?
Love them! I was having such trouble skating confidently on the hybrids my skates came with because every little crack in the pavement tripped me up, but these mow over pretty much anything lol. Super smooth and easy to hit the trail on. If I ever decide to get a smaller outdoor wheel I'll probably go for the pink stardusts because the softness and shape are just right.
The stock wheels on these (Candi Girl Sabina) were 82a, 33mm wide, 58mm diameter. These Sure-Grip Stardust Sparkle wheels are 78a, 33mm wide, 62mm diameter. I got them because I skate around my neighborhood where the pavement is pretty rough, but I didn’t want a really big wheel since I’m a newbie and I was worried about maneuvering with a larger and wider wheel. I was also worried about larger wheels being too big for this particular skate.
I like these a lot! Combined with new bearings, they made a really noticeable difference. I still feel a lot of vibrations on rough ground, but areas that were basically un-skateable are totally passable now.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I believe these are different from the wheels that come on the actual Stardust skates, which are a slightly harder hybrid wheel
