i heard k2 skates are not good skates they break apart easily and if you're a beginner/intermediate maybe go for some razor skates i had those when i first started and they're not bad and not too expansive either i have mook frames and i loove em!! maybe go for those but idk if theyre cheap.

and idk much about wheels or liners... i have some remz liners pretty much brand new they've been used once i'd sell em to you. if you're interested pm me and i'll take some pics of em.

wheels and baring are all basicly the same so you don't need to worry about anything there.
imo the best frame is xjsado mook and the worst is anything by kizer, so ground controls or 50/50s will do you fine as well.
i skate salomon and i will untill i cant anymore unless someone makes new skates in the same mold. unfortunately you cant get salo skates that easy anymore, but if you see some thats what i recomend.
apart from that remz os/one skates are meant to be sick, the new razors aragon 2s seem better than old razors and if your relatively new to rollin xjsado skates are pretty rad too, they can be hard to get used to if your already set in your ways. i haven't heard much good about valo but they can't be that bad cos some way good people do actually love skating them. i don't know anything about usd and i wouldn't recomend deshi.

Yeah, i agree with the mook frames, nice n smooth. If you could find some salomons, you'd no doubt get a good deal, finding thems the problem though. i like them, i havn't skated anything else though. Ive always wanted to give xsjados a proper try

so wrong i have kizer elements and kizer daniel prells? i think i have both one on remz and one on razors best frames ever harder to switch up with suspension tho but the elements own you can ride em flat free or rockered and the H block flips depeneding on how your riding preference is
but thats just me 


oh and heat wheels is the way to go

if you say so, every time i've skated them i though it sucked though. heat wheels certainly do look the best.
