Also should say the wheels in the pic are classic 54 and radial slims are a 52.
Just set them up so can't really get a better photo.Also should say the wheels in the pic are classic 54 and radial slims are a 52.I feel like the radial slim is more like a radial and the regular radial really is a radial full.Meaning imo the wheel isn't really that slim, but since they dropped a wheel with the name radial already that they had to call it a slim when really it parallels more with the conical and the standard radial more with the conical full.

If these wheels are anywhere near as good as STFs, it will be what I am buying from now on.[close]Might have to try these out after seeing Josh flat spot STFs haha He did the impossible

Also, you have to break wheels in before you can really judge them. They wont be as slippery after a few sessions
