If your bearings are crappy (dry/rusty/gritty/unlubed), they're going to generate heat when you skate, and that heat is not good for wheels. Of course it could just be a problem inherent to the wheels themselves, bad materials or whatever, but crappy bearings don't help at all.

Yeah I said this like fifteen times already. 4x4 wheels have shitty cores.

1 week into skating them my cores were like ovals, just removing the wheels the bearings fall right out.

Whenever I get new wheels I get a new set of bearings also so, poopie face.

Take wheels back to shop and get money. Walking backwards optional.
