Go to a bearing shop and by high grade (100 or lower number grade) balls, don't go to Halfords next time (they are 1000 grade. about as low as you can get) or a bike shop, unless they have graded bearings.
Those ones you see in packs on cards are rubbish. You will trash your spindle and cups if you use them for any length of time.
