Xen - I feel you on being picky about wheels. Right there with you. I am probably as OCD about wheels as I am boards. I generally try to set up a new set of wheels every 4-6 weeks. Right now my two favorite shapes are Autobahn Torus shape (Appleyard) and SML Wides. I keep flip flopping between the two because they both rule.
Autobahn are my favorite wheel manu overall. I never understood why they don't get more shine.
SML wheels were a little slick for me at first, I was sliding out from everything. But after skating them for a bit I love them.
Some various wheel shapes I've rode recently for you to check out.
From L to R: PFC Gore 53.5, Type S Modified 54, OJ Dela 53, Autobahn Pepper Sidecut 52, Autobahn ABX 53
And some wheels I have on backup ready to roll from L to R:
SML Wide Herrington 53, Broadcast Crop Circle 53 (feel heavy to me), Autobahn Appleyard (Torus) 53, Autobahn Standard 53, Pusher Jimmy McDonald 53 (Pusher makes a damn nice wheel that is really underrated)
