Cheap slide wheels dont exist

i had the idea of trying to find some really cheap sliding wheels... when i say cheap, i mean less that 20 bucks a set.
i have proved to my self that while they are really good, they wear out in like 2 sessions or less.
here is my photo evidence of the experiment

this red set cost me $10 and are made from pvc i think. they lasted about 2 or 3 sessions of intense sliding before finally dieing from a really fast speed check.

this black set of transformer wheels were my favourite but melted doing a coleman pendulum that lasted for 20 meters.

this white set of skate wheels from my friends trick deck got demolished in 2 sessions. i flat spotted the in one slide then on a consecutive slide i ripped the urethane skin off.

conclusion: i should probably get a new set of sliding wheels... suggestions?

unfortuantly bra all i can offer here is u get what u pay for. sure its expensive shreddin through wheels but a quality wheel will give more predictability during the slide, more consistency wen breakin away and if your a good enough slidder that is shredding both sides then your wheels actually last a while. still expensive thou if you dont get hooked up with product. the cheapest best whell out there is the landyachtz hawgs 76mm 78a, im not sure what theyre sold for in ozzi but as far as slide wheels go, they cheaper than the landyachtz mini monster, otangs and kryptos so give em a burl. any old kryptonic is good and cheap so dont overlook them. clasic k and route 66 re more cheapies
