 ;D they won't shatter - the only thing you will shatter, is yer pants  ;D

in fact as mags go they aren't bad for a mag that can be ridden - they don't flex

they are strong, but with this comes weight and also the fear from RAD boys  ;D

if you want to ride them around that is fine - just check for cracks and loose bearings

put them in some bleach and they should go a bit whiter - see sticky threads in here for a "how to bleach"

cheers B   ;)

bonded window ?

they definitely arent skyways!where did you get them?if it was ebay,as above report them or try and sort a refund out on the grounds that they were mis-sold.especially if you have paid skyway money for them.If you are stuck with them,you will probably be able to sell them on a burner forum,or just ride them and see what happens.if worst comes to worst and they snap,grab some repop tuffs.take a look at the museum on here,most of the freestylers will be wearing skyways,they have a classic and distinctive shape!! :daumenhoch:

Good words of advice right there.. I had these wheels on my burner back in the day, good enough wheel for most things but i wouldn't want to jump an old set now. Swapped mine for a dodgy well worn out set of Acorns... which snapped :( so ended up with forking out for Skyways.. You'd have no problems selling these to someone restoring a Burner  :daumenhoch:

Yeah, and it could be that they are worth what you paid or even more.  I was gob-smacked to see a Mk1 Burning F&F being sold on here recently for £600ish..  If someone had offered this to me for £30 I would have politely walked away (walked away = sprint as fast as I can!!).  So, it could be that you have a super rare/desirable gem!!

Let us know how you get on..
