For anyone interested in the paradise wheels, just go for it. I'm skating a set for a while and i cant love them enough. Perfect amount of grip, slide and are fast and durable as fuck. Small company with a great quality product for sure.

Just saw that Paradise makes a 101a slim shape wheel.  Might have to pick up a set based on the recommendation from you guys

Picture of the soft d's

I like these so far. More control doing tricks, but still soft enough to roll over the bullshit

why don't more companies do WHITE cruiser wheels?  (not that it matters because i will only ride Spitfire from here on out because what's the fucking point of anything else)

i don't want colored wheels, ever.  good luck finding a cruiser wheel that isn't purple, green, orange, or sky blue pink. 



those Soft D's look amazing, and i will have to try and track down a set.

I got these, 101s, they're good enough. Slimmer side cut or "conical." Less riding surface than Spit classics and they came in an OJ Crown Royal bag...

Those look great for indoor wood/ rough outdoor spots. Good to see some wheel companies toying with duros other than 100a or 78a.

There was talk of a 95a Formula Four at one point...

Not exactly an appropriate question for the wheels thread but...
How are you liking the 8.6? Don't you usually skate an 8.25?

I've been riding a set of Reed wheels for a couple weeks. So far they are really solid, stay hard, no flat spots. Definitely going to get a second set if the local shop still has them. Otherwise I'll go back to mini bones.

I ordered these in 52 during Black Friday. Probably won't skate them until after Christmas. I've been wanting them for a long time.

Anybody else heard about OJ's new formula ? Could be interesting !

Behold, the ‪#‎InsaneAthane‬... Our toughest formula yet. Have you tried these? Tough as nails, fast, and slide great.
Top: 101a EZ Edge
Bottom: 99a EZ Edge


That being said, I still don't see myself not riding the F4 train, so it will be hard for any company to fully convince me to try their product.

I skate the 54's of these on my everyday board. I won't buy anything else, ever again.

Origionaly I thought them just to be a keyframe style OK - then the update of a 'new' formula came - OJs feel slow to me and have always flatspotted, I wouldn't want to risk it; plus, both shapes are too wide ;)

Yeah, I definitely need some legit feedbacks from atleast a handful of people before buying a pair. Still, you can tell this is probably the result of all the other companies constantly pushing the quality of their wheels. I believe that it's a good thing for us, the customers.

I've tried the Bones STFs and SPFs and they were disappointing. I need a wheel that will allow me to powerslide a long time and have a quick response. The Bones were way too grippy. I don't understand all the reviews I've read where people said they're way too slippery. It's just not true.

Spitfire Formula Four 54mm 101a's in the classic shape have been my go-to for a long time. However, I decided to try something different on cyber Monday and ordered some OJ "Power Riders" 54mm 101a's. Haven't skated them yet but they look and feel like high quality urethane.

I know that the "durometer scale" within the industry is pretty regular but anything lower than "101a" aren't slippery enough for me.

Spitfires have gotten better but not all bones are the same. They have skinnys if you need more slippery wheels and 5 shapes of stf.
