So awhile I go I actually did this. Came out to like 3 or 4 bucks per set of bearings. This is the exact link
They were mediocre. They rolled but they weren't fast. The stock lubricant is a grease I think and is pretty thick. I used them with the mindset that they were my "thrash and throw away" bearings for rain skating. They seized up really fast though because of the double rubber seals. Also a fairly loose fit on the axle and in the wheels. There are some wheels I cannot run them in because they do not fit tight enough. I would not trust them going fast and sliding. They developed a small amount of play between the inner and outer races.
I wouldn't do it again now that I have lots of other bearings. But if you have 4 or 5 setups that need new bearings its not a bad idea.
ALSO an fyi about bearings:
A lot of bearing companies do order from VXB and the like. The manufacturers do in house QC to a certain degree but some companies do additional QC/tolerance testing before shipping out while others just ship them as soon as they get them (this is according to some super old fish threads).
