I'm getting some new trucks soon, I've narrowed my decision down to these:

Thunder Appleyard-4

Venture Raw/Black
http://www.rollersnakes.co.uk/files/tnails/s32667sb.jpg

Grindking Louisvuitton

Which ones should I buy?
NOTE: Please do not make any other suggestions of trucks, I have narrowed it down to these three pairs.

I've owned a pair of Thunders for a year now. They are grinded to the outhouse and still no breakage apart from kingpins. They're not to heavy and turn like a beast.

I've never skated V's or Grindking trucks so don't take my advice to heavily.

I've got grind kings and the best I can say about them is that they look cool. They don't skate as well as I'd hoped and the paint chips like a mofo.

Oh, I forgot to put my input lol. Id deffinitly say the Thunders because although I've never rode them they look badass and it seems like everyone else likes them. So thunders FTW I say!

theres nothing wrong with grind king, im getting the carlsberg grind kings. and i skated grind kings samepair for like a year and they were good. id get the thunders or grind kings, grind kings will last at least two years garunteed, they are actually garunteed for life.

I appreciate your suggestions but I did say at the bottom of the thread NOT to reccomend any other trucks to me. I would love a pair of Indy's, but price is a big problem for me. I chose those three because they are all only £25 for the set.
But anyway, Thanks to everyone for helping me out, in the poll Thunders and Ventures are tied, so it'll have to go down to looks. The Thunders look a hell of alot nicer then the Ventures, plus, all my friends have ventures so I would like something different, therefore, the trucks I have chosen are..............

*DRUMROLL*


THUNDER APPLEYARD 4'S!!!!!

I know that, but I'm not looking for really light trucks, I wan't strong and durable trucks that look good too.
Besides, if you read the whole of my thread, you would know not to give any other suggestions...

If it were only for the looks, I'd go for Venture.

Have you got your Appleyards already?

My 1st pair of trucks was thunder they are alright a bit heavy tho like independents

I had grindkings before the trucks i have now they are light but are mad hard to adjust wit needing an alan wrench for them plus the bushings suck balls

Ventures are the trucks i have now and they are the best no complaints here

Thunder.

I've skated how many sets of trucks to find my true love in my Indy Stage 10's, but Thunder was right up there with Indy.

Go get them... NOW!
