as the title says, I'm looking to try out some new wheels for bowl/vert.
I always used rat bones in the past & am using new bones atm, but they stink (I thought they would, but I wanted to try em out), the wear off way to fast. cubics are great too.

so what is everyone riding?

I am using some Spitfires at the moment.

Zero. =D

Zero. =D

Zero pwnz

Where did you get that Zero thing in your sig?

flip sidecuts (:

geoff rowley rictas

bones skate park forumla. theres nothing better imho.

Darkstar Hollowcores awsome wheels!

Blanks

alien workshop wheels.

they glide soo smooth and they look like cherry cough drops!

darkstars, i like em a lot

I'm using an ancient set of Cockroach 60mm wheels.

New Kontrol 54mm

Bullet Revolvers 52mm

autobahns, come in sizes 51 all the way to 62, so you'll probably find what you want. Check their website out.

enjoi cario foster heart core

I use Ricta wheels witch cores. They are grate and have a cool old school plain white look instead of all that promo crap you have on most wheels

World Industries, at least they make good wheels...

Flip and Baker

^lmfao, that might be the ONLY thing :p!

I'm using Spitfire 48mm at the moment! They're pretty nice on the pocket, and I would happily recommend :)

Well all i know is that a lot of people are useing Spite Fire.

Rainskates Stingers, powell minilogos, and NOS (from early 90s) Ratbones

no-one use autobahns? You'd be surprised =). I was also surprised about you saying the new bones wheels stink. I've read many reviews about them, most of them about the DTF's, and about how good they are. You probably got the SPF's right? People were complaining about slipping out every now and then...

yep, I tried those SPF's & they suck bollocks
I was so pissed, I remounted my old 80's mini rats to my board, those are the best wheels I ever had

Well i was using zero,until my board fell in the drain.

Spit Fie is probably the most popular wheel company. Ive always used them and ive always been satisfied with them.

Bullet Lightspeed 52mms ... perfect !

autobahn

i am using ricta naturals and lovin it

you guyrs are CRAZY! isnt this the POOL/ BOWL forum? and your using 48mm wheels? flip wheels? bones or spitfire 60mm wheels. hands down. and anything less then 56mm is just too damn small.

I'm using an ancient set of Cockroach 60mm wheels.

No way!!! Are they old relics Hexane? I haven't seen Cockroach wheels since I had a tail guard and copers on my trucks!!! :icon_bigg

Not sure whether you will find them where you are Mazonemayu, but an Australian company called Kewday have been making some pretty nice series called Retro.

- I tried to post the URL here for you, but it wouldn't let me. Just do a search for Kewday, click on the "products", then the "wheels" tab.

Personally, I don't think you will get anything as good as the old G-Bones, but these are pretty sweet.

For skateparks and really smooth concrete, not much beats Powell Bowl Bombers.

Ricta Crystals.

Wow...my heart gave a little jump just then...! They bring a nostalgic resonance! These were my first ever proper skate wheels. Except in green. I had them on an original blue Powell Hawkskull fishtail with Indys and god knows what bearings.

Sick find!

I usually get my wheels from this shop that has a huge stock of brandnew oldskool stuff. Ok, the guy knows his price, but I don't really care when it comes to skatestuff (especially wheels) :tongue:

I have a brand new Ray Barbie at my shop. Still in plastic. Sick.

I can order heaps of old school stuff actually, but it's not really worth stocking in the shop.

Although I wouldn't mind getting a few of those old Powell and Screaming Hand shirts. They are cool.

Try Powells site and Santa Cruz's site,think they are re-issueing some of their old shirts! They probably would give you a deal since you have a shop!!! Good Luck

yea my blind deck is better thn i thought it would be but im going to get a girl next i like them much more

I have four boards, so I have four different wheels

Pig Flex: RETRO ZIGZAG 66mm
Jay Adams Z-Flex: Bull Dog Skates ?
PP Frankie Hill Bulldog: Z-flex Wheels 62mm 78a
SMA Stigmata: CLASSIC 76mm

I just went skateboarding awhile ago, and took a tumble. I got up, checked out my board. When looking at the wheels, I noticed on the Pig Z-flex the Zig Zag wheel had a rather large piece of rubber missing from the inside of the wheel.

I don't think I hit something to cut off the rubber. I have a feeling it's a defective wheel. Got a nice rasberry on my calf, even though I was padded from knees to head.

Sucks an egg.

~L~

some weird ones i don't know what brand they are. lol

i like spitfire 60mm classics

right now i have 56mm deville wheels. pretty grippy

Since returning to skating I stated out with 58mm Pocket Pistols (too hard). Then went to some 58mm Cortech wheels, (loved them).

Heard heaps of good press about the bones SPF 60mm wheels (not bad), however I have gone back the Cortechs, as I feel they offer my grip and better ride all round.

Also swear by Rainskates Tsanami 59mm. Its a soft wheel that I think works perfectly on steel surfaces.

pig wheels

using what i think are walmart wheels right now, but its okay because they are purple
orderd a set of Better Skateboarding wheels a few days ago, can't wait until they come in

pig speedline or some **** 58's

i think theyre blind. idk what the millimeters are.

rictas ftw

Old, hard, uneven, tiny worn down wheels. I think they were the first wheels I ever got and I got them for free off a friend.

Until I can't ride 'em, I'm not changing 'em!

Momentum wheels 52mm's

Creature 63mm

Autobahn Nexus´s

They´re cheap and super smooth but wear down if you use them on tarmac
(rough road) ect..

I'm using Duralites, which started out as i think a 52, and are now about a 48 or 49. But I really like them small.

65 mm speed demons

Ricta all star, yellow, bob burnquist. Mine have worn down so small now though.

Spitfire is incredibly overrated.
They suck.
Heavy, they chip easily, and I, the guy who can barely powerslide, flatspotted a pair.
They ended up at like 38mm from 54mm in about a month.
These autobahns took about 3 months to wear down.

Spitfire Cores 53mm

Autobahn Dual Duro L/E III's :)

you guyrs are CRAZY! isnt this the POOL/ BOWL forum? and your using 48mm wheels? flip wheels? bones or spitfire 60mm wheels. hands down. and anything less then 56mm is just too damn small.

A lot of people use theire street setup (which to most people is their only setup) as an all-around board. My current wheels have shrunk to 41mm, but I ain't complainin'.

62mm spitfires..
i use one set up for street and tranny
and after about 2weeks their worn down to about a 60mm
which is mighty good :)

try G-bones 90-a

ricta 53 naturals

Satori 62mm/78a

They friggin rule crusin on the streets.

Ricta Crystals
