Classic shapes or more commonly the Bighead shape which was a Classic Full before there was such a thing was the main wheel back then, so when new they were big and round, but when worn down they were very wide and squared off, and to me, they were great for everything, which is what I liked and I think what some of those guys wanted from new, hence the wider profile wheel came out again but in way more modern sizes - 51, 52, etc as opposed to 60mm.
I say again, cause back in the 80s forward, they had super big fat wide wheels in all shapes, sizes, etc.
SFW - super fucking wide - was also an Indy thing back when trucks were on narrow planks and then boards started to get wider and wider, so it made sense to also have those initials for those wheels too.
I think navarrette would have the same shape as the mandersons but in 58-60s. (Altho way before 2016) was that the longest running pro wheel? Feel like I had the mandersons in 2011 or something
Re the Manderson wheel, I can't remember when but they definitely had been out for a while, maybe first saw them about then but I would have to check.
Re Navarrette. He was always more into the Bighead 59mm wheel, which is pretty damn wide in itself 40mm or so. So big but so good for what it was and those things lasted forever when I had them on boards.
Does anyone know if the radial fulls were only a one time release?? Fallen in love with em & couldn't stock up at any of the locals when they were in
I would say they are pretty popular so should be around for a while, but who knows these days. There were 56mm through 57, 58 and 60mm sizes between a few different drops and graphics so far.
