I think you two need to think on a different scale. You remember (okay, maybe you don't) when roller skates had steel wheels? Rode rough and didn't handle too well (oops, I just described a lot of Cobras ). Anyway, swap the steel for magnesium and give them a catchy name like "Fire Wheels". The kids will love the way they shower sparks, and you could cross-sell flame retardant socks with each set. Of course, durability will be an issue. I haven't quite resolved that aspect of this scaled down wheel plan (outside of employing child labor in a dirty factory in some Asian country).
