I really want the Mint colored f4s, such a nice color.

They had a weird defect in the blue F4s, it was as if they poured them too small. They would split almost instantly:


Problem appears to be fixed now, I think it was just a bad batch.
But I've never seen a defect like this before .

found the summer 16 spitfire releases, look pretty nice - a lot of bigger sizes and a grosso pro 59mm (!?).

ive been riding 53 conical full 99s skating mostly parks and I love them. Fast (relative) in the bowls and not slippery at all. But break away easily for me when I power slide and stuff. Probably won't go back to 101s.
Man the long board truck thing killed indy for me. I was willing to set aside the racism, but long boarding, gtfo... - DH

So far i've ridden the;
99 duro;
Classic shape; perfect!
Conical full - too wide.
Classic wide- was really good and didn't notice much of a difference than the regular classics, wouldn't mind having em again if they were around.
Classic Slim- just tried em for one session and they're noticeably faster. So far digging em
101 Classic shape - TOO slick

Here's the classic slim shape, makes me 147 thunders look much wider;

Skateboarding is like jacking-off, it's that good- Jeremy Klein

Am I wrong to think they should just put the classic graphics on f4's? unquestionably the best wheel graphic ever

They also come in white

Just bought a set of 99A Conicals, I had a sky blue set when they we're released and I was really disappointed. Let's see with these one

I was rotating my F4 101's today and noticed there were several spots where there were chunks missing from the wheel. Not super deep but it was clear it wasn't a flatspot, more like a puncture or gouge along the edges. Anyone ever experience this?

Am I wrong to think that no one should give a single fuck about wheel graphics? I mean for real, everyone put them in anyway, and no matter what way you but it it'll be gone in a day or two...

I don't mind skating black wheels from time to time when I wanna switch it up a bit. They actually look pretty good on certain setups if it matches up just right. I don't really like skating any other colored wheel though, it's gotta be white or black.

Yes! Orange is a magical wheel colour. I often rode Orange spits during that era. I see there are a now some Orange Fs.... Only problem is, I've got all these to get through before I can justify buying some...



I've got an F4 problem. Not shown are the Green Radial slim 54mm 101s and classic 58mm 99s that I have on my current set ups.

yes, loads. not only with spitfires but with any type/brand. as long as the wheel is not flatspotted you're good.
i actually like this, it makes my skateboard not look like a toy. i hate it when everything is brand new and flashy, especially trucks & wheels

Is there a reason why they don't make 53mm 99A's in formula four? specifically in Fulls/Radials/Classic Pro's in Natty White?

I will gladly help and take a set or two off your hands then, hah.
But seriously you'll be good to go for a while! That's enough to last you for like three years (or longer if you're the type to ride your wheels to dust; I only put three years because I assumed you maybe switch your wheels out every six months and you have six sets in waiting. With how i am with switching wheels thatd be enough to last me for the next five to six years haha)

Yeah, I got my radial slims replaced that had a chunk ripped out of the edge. They sent me a set of classic slims at my request and I love them. Much slimmer shape. It's what I really wanted out of the radial slims.



Great dudes at DLX. Spitfire for life.
