As T^2 already mentioned our wheels did not wear at all, instead the plastic form the frisbees actually got melted/caked onto the wheel. You'll probably run out of frisbees before you wear down these wheels. At their off-the-shelf diameter I would not recommend running them at more than ~8,500rpm for more than ~10 seconds as they will literally tear themselves apart as previously mentioned.
