99a Classic F4 60mm
Yeah - good to see a selection there!
The 60mm Spitfire is a mercurial beast. I bought those black Gonz classics that were out a few years ago and they were square just how I like them. When I needed new wheels I ordered some 60mm F4 classics and they were the rounded classic shape. It's odd that the shapes were different but I guess for whatever reason DLX used to put out OG Classics in 60mm for the regular line and then uses the classic shape for F4s. That was my guess anyway.
I was very bummed to see no new 60mm F4 OG Classics in the new Fall catalog but hopefully they'll do a drop when F4 Classics dry up in stores.
I had always found it funny they had the Bigheads (classic full shape) in bigger offset sizes 57, 59 and 63mm (with 63mm size in more of a radial shape), then the Classics (true classic shape) in the other sizes 56, 58 and 60, but as you said the 60mm Classics were never in a classic shape but in what has now come to be known as the conical full shape, but never called that. Multiballs came out in bigger sizes of 58 and 61mm, also the same big wide rounded shapes of classic fulls, but were discontinued around the same time that F1 came out, or not too long after that anyway.
When F4 options all went to the more standard shapes with the same graphics (down to four, but now back up to twice that, but have had 11 or even 12 shaped options) there were no conical full wheels, with only Classic, Full, Tablet, etc which was also when the original Classic 60mm wheel shape was very limited in supply and production seemed to be more aimed towards special releases, eg those black ones or the following Gonz flower graphics.
OG Classic are a different shape again, thinner overall, with a smaller rounded edge, then cutaway inside, which were released in original urethane and F4, both of which have been out not so recently but only some limited options / sizes and not many it seems made it to most places.
The pandemic caused all sorts of issues, along with further urethane shortages and whatever else and manufacturing is still trying to catch up to demand, so who knows how many or when certain other wheels might be back.
It does seem like there might be another special wheel or two coming out in the bigger sizes in F4 but until that drops or is shown, I am not about to go into details.
Sorry it probably sounds like a long winded ramble, which I guess it is.
