Specs:
Let me get back to you on the core differences. I printed Abec adapters and they seem to fit mine but I haven’t actually had a chance to ride yet. I’ve never heard of “mbx” cores and my wheels were specifically advertised as using Abec cores, which look just like the ones you linked.
These are the ones I got on amazon. They are available in several colors.
Maybe there’s a slight fitment issue I’ll feel once I ride them. Out of town for a few days without board though.
Belts may or may not be needed depending on your pulley selection. If you choose the larger pulley to keep the original torque and top speed, you need different belts. If you keep the original pulley size for lower torque and higher top speed you can keep the original belts. In general, when choosing a pulley they’ll tell you if you need new belts as long as you read the description closely.
Covers seem to be more dependent on the placement of the urethane around the core and seems to be more of an issue for the Kegel-core designs because the urethane may not be offset enough to stay out of contact with the inside face of the wheel. It never hurts to try the original covers and modify them if needed, but sometimes the pulley you choose will also say in the description if they require different covers.
