Hey,

I was think of grabbing the retro/era Hyper Formula G wheels.

http://www.inlinewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=HFGEW

I will probably go for the 74A hardness (mabye the 76A).

How are these wheels? Right now I'm using Hyper Razor's Edge with 78A Hardness(Ones that came on the Mission 1500s). Will the Era Formula G's be that much better?

Is there another wheel similar priced that will give better performance? I want Grip and Speed, but I also want durability. But I only use the wheels only for about 2- 2 1/2 hours once a week. So I don't need anything crazy.

Also I'm 5'10" 135 lbs if that matters for hardness.
Its indoor inline hockey, the surface is a smooth green cement surface.

Thanks for any advice or help!

They will definatly be a step up from the Razors, and are good on durabilty(depending on what surface you skate on), especially only skating once a week they will last you a good while...As for the 74A or 76A if your skating on sportcourt Id go with the 74A=good grip, if your skating on wood go with the 76A=good grip for wood and will hold up on that surface better than 74A will...If by chance your skaing outside on concrete Id stay away from those wheels all together and get some Rink Rat world cup wheels...Maybe that will help ya out...

Hi, why don't you just go on E-Bay and search under Hockey Wheels , you will even find rink rats there. There are some red stars selling for $20.00 with bearings from TGM skateboards that will work for you.
