Hyper Pro 250 or RinkRat World Cup should fit your needs.

I'm a big fan of the Rink Rat World Cup wheels. They've held up great for me so far on a painted asphalt surface. Some buddies of mine also swear by the Hyper 250's, and they're usually less expensive than the Rink Rats.

I just use older indoor wheels (anywhere around 76-78a does the trick) that I find on closeout. Inlinesports.com has a pretty large stock of wheels for real cheap.

They won't last as long as the pro250s or world cups, but you're also not paying 7-10 per wheel, and they offer a ot more grip than the hypers. I haven't used the world cups, so I can't say anything about the performance of those. I just can't drop $9-10 per wheel for pickup hockey when I ordered 8 sets @ .50 per wheel last time around.

i swear by the hyper pro 250's and i've used the world cup wheels as well - i still buy the 250's they are just the best outdoor wheel you can buy

Revision Ghost Wheels are mixed with my rink rats for outdoor $6.95 per wheel for the Ghosts $6.49 for the World Cups. Where are you lads coming up with $9 a wheel? Exagerate for effect much?

Because the "big dog" wheels are all around $9 a pop. MB816's, Genesis', Dynasty's, etc.

yes but the question is not how much do wheels cost but what is a good OUTDOOR wheel right?

hockeygiant has pro 250s in 68, 72, and 76 mm for 3.99 each.

i have a set 80mm on my outdoor skates, they're pretty good.

I thought i had seen world cups going for $9-10 a pop, I may have been mistaken. Pro 250s are around $7-8 around here.

Still, considering the way I eat through wheels and the grip I get with the older indoor wheels, I'll take a $2-3 wheel lasting 6 skates over a pro 250 lasting 12 skates any day of the week. 250''s last like nothing else, but you just don't get the same performance.

Rink Rat World Cup wheels gets another vote from me.

[SickLife 2]

another world cup vote for me. thankfully, i got some on blemish manufacturer closeout on epuck 3 years ago. bought a few sets. they're just now finally running out. but man, they last 3x as long as the hypers i tried in between.

i'm going to get another set of hypers though, just because they're a lot cheaper than the non blem world cups go for. after that i'll probably try those asphalt wheels.

Rink Rat World Cup are the best Ive ever used. They stick well and are hella durable.
