Title: wide vs narrow conical vs flat wheels
Post by: meanwalrus18 on May 21, 2007, 10:02:40 PM
personally i like flat wide wheels....the 56 spitfire grossos are pretty ideal but i like them usually a little shorter...like 53... what are your preferences? i feel like flat wheels feel more comfy..

skinny, white and 53 or 54. I've also learned that cheaper really is worse quality.

53mm x 29mm - Candle White - No Graphics ...

Cheaper is not always worse quality RAW !, it just means you eliminated the middle man.

damn, I didnt know i was worthy of italics. But I used to always buy the cheapest wheels(usually atm or bullet) at the shop and they would get flat spots in a few weeks, but then I bought some zeros cause they were my size and pretty cheap for a decent company and Ive had them for months.

I have no idea why I thought this, but I seriously thought you were 17.

Anyway, Spitfire 53's for me.  I tend to like them on the skinny side.

52-55 depending on what I am skating or my mood.
Bones STF or satoris have always treated me well.
Basically anything poured at creative seems to hold up well.
preferably the 101 formula.

anyone remember the Westedition/filmore wheels that were completely flat from the bearing to the top of the wheels? kinda like the old Spitfire Tablets.

I street skate with 60 mm wheels all the time, stereotyping is rad though, keep up the good work.
