I don't know how long they should last, but 100km is not much. I will say one thing though, you should be twisting them more often, for even wear. Doesn't look like you did it at all.

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.
What kind of surface do you usually skate on? Maybe your streets are more on the rougher side?
Also, the hardness of the wheels might not be optimal for durability.
When you decide to get new wheels you might check out this video first, it also talks about rotating the wheels (which, I suppose, is the same as twisting them?).
Good question! I drove a few hundred meters on a rougher surface but that can't account for that wear. Thanks for the suggestion!
