i would avoid getting ricta wheels unless you get ricta naturals, which i think may have been discontinued... i've seen ricta aircores having the couloured core bit ripped out of them mid skate and generally their dual duro ricta cores do more harm than good (you may notice you destroy 3 times as many bearings as nomral) don't know about darkstars though...as its been said just get some dirt-cheap ultra hard generic wheels  |

The Autobahn wheels I've seen and test-ridden rode pretty nicely. They've all been the dual-durometer ones. My kid has 54's and some kid I know has 50's. I somewhat liked them, but they were a little skinny for me. The outer surface is rated at 97a while the inner core is more like a 100/101. They're probably a little softer than what you're looking for, but they're nice wheels.

The number designates hardness. The "a" is the particular scale you're measuring hardness with (which would mean it also designates hardness to an extent).
On the A scale, there's actually no 101. It only goes up to 100, then you'd have to start measuring on the B scale. To better understand, just Google "durometer scales" or something like that. This turned out to be a much wordier answer than I had intended.
