Anyone skate OJ Elites? If so how are they compared to STF or F4?
I've skated OJ Elite 55mm, 101 duro (

I enjoyed the OJ's and really liked the shape. At 101 duro, however, they felt somewhat chalky, chirped a lot on concrete transition, and rattled my feet on rough surfaces. Good slide and good speed overall though. By comparison, the spitfire F4 101 duro felt much softer/engaging and more comfortable on all surfaces. The easy streets 99 duro felt super plush and forgiving rolling around on the street, but are a bit grabby and require more push to break loose and slide (powerslides and ledge tricks). I am currently running the Bones STF 55mm, 103 duro v5 sidecut. This is my favorite wheel shape so far. The wheel is very fast on concrete transition, but has good controllable slide-ability.
These are just my observations. I am sure something in this thread will eventually make me question everything and jump down another rabbit hole in search of the next best thing...which reminds me, I've got a set of 99 duro f4 classics waiting in the wings to try next...the madness never ends.
