I drove maybe 100km with those wheels. They are my first wheels and they came with the shoes. 84mm. I didn't do anything crazy with them. I didn't often T-break, I just drove with them. How long should they last?

Thx for the advice. I have only been driving for 3-4 times. I read that I should twist them, I just didn't know I shiuld twist them that often! I thought it's more like a bike where you can drive for a couple of hundred km without maintenance

It depends on the distance that you skate. I like to twist them after every 30-40km, but your wheels seem to be wearing particularly fast, so you might wanna try twisting theme every 20-30km.
