i never heard of them, might as well give em a shot. for me it was black panthers for smoothness, bones swiss for speed. i haven't tried the bones ceramics yet, but i guess they're good

If they are the right size they should work.....do they have an ABEC rating? 3 or 5 is good for skating.
I just run cheap-o Reds....get me going plenty fast enough to hurt myself!!

They should be really good. When I was a teenager & into speedskating (roller) there were all sorts of esoteric brands of bearings as you can imagine - like skateboarding now. But when I tried $2 SKF bearings they were brilliant. Easily better than most.
Not ceramic though. that's a whole different league.
SKF are very high quality engineering bearing manfacturers.
