The v5s are wider because of the lip of the wheel, supposedly to help you roll over the coping and lock in for bowls; only difference in the cut and 'function' compared to the V2.Riding 52mm V5s in a transition focused park atm - most people here ride SPF P5s (very close in shape as the V5s but a tad less round on the lip).I'm trying to find the SPF P1s in 53mm but they're discontinued and tough to find to have some smaller SPFs as wearing down bigger ones takes forever.

I've been waffling on whether to get them for like 3-4 months.

They just have different feels. STFs are bouncy rubbery feeling, but slippery at the same time. F4s feel like rocks but grip pretty well.

europe's like the capitol of england and france and whatever
It sucks getting old.
After almost a decade on Bones STF I set up Crupie wheels couple of days ago to try them out and they are holding up great after skating them on some smooth and some really rough ground. No chips or flatspots yet.Performance wise in the streets they are comparable to STFs that I rode before, time will tell if they are as durable.Great value for money as Bones STF/Spitfire F4 cost almost twice as much.

Loved the set I skated. I went back to some F4’s for the sake of trying a new wheel shape but I’ve got my eyes on some Tiago Crupies next. Will probably cop when he wins SotY

53mm crupies might be a sleeper hit.
Ordered these 83b Clone wheels today. If they don't come in a fucking test tube I'm sending them back.
Dear Slap, I got some new spitfires, but there is this mark on one. The surface is smooth but it looks like a crack- send it back or skate it?

Kevin Taylor became a spot? Good for him.
I've been wanting to get some formula 4's, is there a difference for real from 99a and 101 duromater?
