If you buy reds bearings, they're either swiss or just bearings made by reds. They ride like an abec 5 though. I reccomend reds or bones.

As the other guy mentioned, buy reds or bones, they're as good as it gets when it comes to skateboard bearings and though they're expensive they're worth the money. Forget about the ABEC rating. The ABEC rating is intended for machines not skateboards, because the only time the ABEC rating will make a difference is when the bearing is spinning at extremely high speeds (much, MUCH higher speeds than on a skateboard) because at such great speeds, an ABEC 1 bearing will just fall apart. The only reason skateboard bearings tend to display the ABEC rating is to attract people into spending more money, a cheap marketing strategy. I mean, seriously, just about every skater will agree that reds or bones are the best bearings, yet they're only, what, ABEC 5? You see my point? ABEC ratings make absolutely NO difference when it comes to skateboard bearings.
