Title: What wheels is DMODW riding
Post by: Prostate Exam on October 15, 2021, 05:38:34 AM

I have lately been going through some wheel struggle, mostly caused by my local wheelbrand going under.
I have always liked the look of DMDOW wheels and they seem to have a bigger riding surface than most wheels on the market, which is what I prefer.

Anyone knows what kind of wheels these are:

OK, so you mean some Vintage T-Bones or some G-Bones? I am very curious cause on the photo the wheels loke like a 56-58. Most T- or G-Bones come in 64 which is definitely a bit too big for me.

Are G- or T-Bones similar to SPFs?

Those guys either ride mini cubics or rat bones most of the time

What were you on before and what size are you after?


Thought the guy was getting some love from NHS, so was on OJs, of which there are those sort of wheels, size, shape, etc available in the Winkowski 60mm, as well as reissues of the Teamriders.

Similar wheels include Speedlab, which come in slightly lower duros, 56 - 58mm 97 duro being a popular one.

Still 5 in stock of those.

I just looked up some pics and got a good clear image of a few, including Powell Mini Cubics which are big super wide and not the sort of wheel I would setup on a normal board, and Slimeballs in the 60mm versions.

So there are a few more options too.

judging from the graphic the wheels on the second pic those might just be Mini-logo A cuts.
it's a 10 year old picture too so who knows.
