kinda torn on the 149's for the p3 i just got. it tapers to 8" at the back trucks, so 139 might be the go. wish they made an 8.25" truck.
make your own meat spin!
The only thing you nerds grind down is yer keyboard keys.
man i never get tired of seeing/riding square tails.
What is everybody's input here on the best cruiser wheels?
Girl shaped deck somewhere around 8.125Old Indy 139's that I used to have on my regular deckSpitfire speedies 80a (I think?) 54mm probably like 51's nowBones swissBones soft bushings no washersLeftover HardwareLeftover RailsFilmbot grip that ended up really shitty...So stoked to start skating this thing!

[close]It really depends on your preferencespersonally, I like medium sized wheels that are not too soft. Big wheels make pushing weird and wheels that are too soft (like the bones ATF wheels) don't feel right for me. I honestly still haven't found the right cruiser wheel for myself, but play around with different durometers

Those powell rat bones reissues I reccomended earlier in the thread are like rolling on a hot buttered cloud, but that's about all they're good for: rolling. They are a huge pain to slide, and make getting the board off the ground on flat a real task. I'm setting up a new shaped curb/crust board, and I need a wheel that is 57-58mm and about 90a. I feel like that would be the perfect balance, but I can't find that shit anywhere. These broadcast "issues" are close, but I feel like they might be too wide and clunky like the powells:http://www.nativeskatestore.co.uk/skateboards-c7/skateboard-wheels-c8/broadcast-issues-90a-old-school-shape-skateboard-wheels-60mm-p12969The search continues...

Does the tail seem short to you? I've hardly skated it yet, but the first time I tried to ollie on it I ate shit going super fast over a manhole because the tail was shorter than I expected, and I didn't even pop.

Thought it was just the photo's perspective on first glance.

I might try to drill some new holes a little bit closer to the middle, hopefully I don't fuck it up too bad.

what size trucks would you fellas get for a zip zinger if i dont want to have the trucks overhanging on my board
