These look like a promising start if the price makes them affordable enough. However, in their current incarnation I do see a few problems. First, unless you want to thumpthumpthump down the field, I hope the final rollers are a bit rounder than that. Also, these wheels are going to take incredible side loads, so I hope those plates are steel (I would assume so, since these guys seem to know what they are doing).
