Interested to hear what other people are riding other than Spits or Bones. Did a search and was surprised there wasn't a thread for other wheel manus. There is a great selection of smaller brands... Autobahn, OJ, Broadcast, Paradise, Pusher, SML, PFC, Type S, etc. Definitely interested to hear what people are skating.
Currently on these on these SML Herrington 53 Wides and I love them. They were a little slick for my tastes at first but after a few sessions they're perfect. For anyone that prefers wider wheels they are great:
Just finished up on OJ Dela 53. Wasn't a big fan of them on first ride, but gave them a revisit and I was pretty psyched:
I have these up next, Satori Guru 54:
If you are young you should just start riding spitfire classics now, you want to ride wheels that are going to be around forever. You get spitfire classics whatever size you want and bones bearings and thats what you ride for wheels, you dont fuck with that. then you get indys and get new indy bushings.
then you always have your spitfires and your indys, makes setting up a board much easier. no gimmicks.
Then you get OJs for your cruiser or rough spot board, I like the OJ ditch witch wheel too, sometimes you need something a lil softer and at 92 you can still powerslide.
