while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo
Got these on sale at the local. Bought em on a whim. Not getting my hopes up on these wheels at all, but I’ve been looking for a super slick and slidey wheel for a while, and the fact that it says “street formula” on there, it’s 101a, and the fact that DGK makes them and their team is known for super techy skating give me hope.

Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
Anyone skate Speedlab wheels?
Just a heads up but TGM is selling blank creative urathane wheels for $12 and for a $1 more comes with bearings. Seems like a great deal here.https://www.ebay.com/p/538106404?iid=361969345566https://www.ebay.com/itm/Skateboard-Wheels-Set-52mm-x-32mm-99A-Purple-White-Swirl-with-Bearings/372921264086?hash=item56d3d6e7d6:g:rygAAOSwtZpeYsDBhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Skateboard-Wheels-Set-54mm-x-33mm-99A-Pink-White-Swirl-with-Bearings/362888375057?hash=item547dd52b11:g:1FkAAOSwISReYsC4Seem like a great deal to hold you over or in general if the colors are fine. They have other creative urathane blanks but these seem to have the oj/ricta/sc core design and some conical/full shapes
Am I missing something or is there a huge shortage of F4s?

Possible substitute for Bones Rough Riders? They may fall apart in one day, but I'm going to find out!
Long time 1st time... my favorite jawns have been pusher wheels but they're outta the game.. so what's good on dial tone or loopwhole?

Not basing that on anything concrete, they just have similar molds and packaging to other CU wheels on the market. Loophole on the other hand... I REALLY like them. The graphics will just slide right off if you rub them and you can definitely tell they were just made by some enterprising skaters in someones garage in SF, but they skate great. For how hard they are (55D or 103a) they're quite a smooth ride, and they're fast and shit and slide like butter. They're a little weird at first - almost too hard and slick - but after you get past the first layer of urethane they have a great combination of grip and slip. Honestly they're probably the second best wheel I've skated behind F4s. Also if you can't find the side or shape you want then check out NFG mfg which is the company that pours them, they have their own line of wheels and have a square shape that I haven't seen on loopholes yet. Don't wait around on them though, they're small batches so they tend to sell out pretty fast. They just put some new 54mm squares up - they're $40 through the site but if you have amazon prime you can order them through amazon and save the shipping cost.
