Eagle-Sport, FrenchID, Proto, Pro Comp (The Scooter Zone) , and Micro-Xtreme, Bob and Yak are some of the brands producing metal core wheels for scooters. Many riders before the existence of scooter specific wheel brands turned to inline skates companies for wheels. Some of the first old school metal cores to be marketed for scooters were vapors, drives, and a hard to get five spoked metal core made by Razor restricted to the luxury B Model.
After Yaks failure another metal core marketed to the community as a freestyle scooter wheel was by Micro-Xtreme. This had immediately become the god of all wheels as they were the only wheels readily available that were not plastic core. The scooter Zone, the first full fledge retail scooter shop was the first to import large quantities of Micros to the U.S. scooter scene.
