        The plastic wheels are referred to as "mags".  I am a freestyle/BMX 
racer.  I got mags on my freestyle bike.  There supposed to be 
industructable.  There also garunteed (or however you spell it) for life.  
Instead of bending they break(the cheaper ones).  But is does take a crap 
load of punishment to break'em.
