I had the same problem with the black and silver wheels. It looked like a white "film" was developing around the hub where it's fused to the wheel. Whenever I skated I could hear a "clicking" noise which I presume was the hub separating from the wheel.

I think it was just a random batch of wheels that were like this. For me it was the 80mm 78A Hornets. I had 4 go bad. I contacted Michael Hunt at Rink Rat in the spring and even sent him pics. He said that he would send replacements but he never did. So what, I still like the wheels and I'll continue to buy them.

I e-mailed him about a month later but got no response. He's too busy and it was just 4 wheels. Maybe if the spirit moves me I'll try to contact him again via e-mail or on his cell phone. I'm not going to sweat $40.

I had two mb816's blow out several months ago. They became cloudy around the hub and then they seperated. I contacted rink rat with pics and they sent me 8 wheels. This problem is starting with another wheel I have noticed (80mm 76a) gray wheel on my Mission Quatro 9500 skates.

He usually checks the forums pretty regularly.....

Keep emailing him, he may be out of the country and/or at a large tournament. Persistence pays off with Mike, he is a great guy and really cares about his customers satisfaction.
