Still seems like a F4 shortage is going on. I’ve been wanting to try some radials and they’re nowhere to be found. In general seems like shops are still wiped out on stock besides the few big online retailers.

I have some brand new 51mm radial slims I’m trying to sell (or trade for used Ace 55 or 44) if you or anyone else is interested

Thanks but I’m looking for radials, not radial slims, and in a 56-58.

Gotcha, no problem!

You definitely got me interested, sending you a PM.

definitely still going on... one place I purchase is thru Eastern Skate supply for a shop, and it always seems like they have minimal supply if anything of f4 and when they come in (which seems to be in small qty's ) they sell out quickly

First set of formula fours in forever. Man have I missed them. Just cruising around feels good. These are the glow in the dark ones though, got em for free from a friend, so they’re a bit brighter white than usual, and there’s like a teeeeny hint of light green to it which I think looks pretty sick actually; you can’t really tell from the photo though because the flash is on.

Impossible to tell actually.

I know why I rode Orange wheels.

I was told it meant you are a queer skater a long long time ago.

Orange Sptifires was a very 90s thing. Loved it. I would love a set of orange wheels again.

I would buy the hell out of some orange conical fulls.  99D, 54mm.  They got close with the embers, but they were orange and black.

What's the problem with black or grey wheels? I've never really thought of this because I usually just buy f4 or classics. Although, the plain janes are good for rough terrain and are usually colored, I had the green pair.

Dem ugly.

[gsosa]

I like skating colored wheels swirls preferably but Black wheels are a fucking no no. It is cool to break the cycle and rock some white/potato colored ones too. I'm rocking some orange/pink swirls CLassics and got a set of White Tablets waiting next.

I guess they are, I've never really thought about it. There should be a post your ugly wheels thread.

What’s the wheel equivalent of that one guys atrocious grip job

Element wheels with the plastic core

[rocklobster]

Ricta chrome cores
Wheels of different size and colours

[bbk]

It's actually just black wheels. Black wheels suck.

Does f4 not come in Orange anymore? Half blue half Orange is far from cool.

Purple and orange would be better but yeah I want some orange spits again

[Surf The Earth]

I rode the 56 Conical Fulls for a while (hands down best wheel i have ridden). I then switched to F4 Classic shape 58, and although I have gotten used to them really want to go back to the conical fulls. Has any one messed with 58 size in them. I liked 56, but want to go bigger. Im assuming the 58 is awesome just wanted some feedback form anyone who prefers them.

58 conical fulls are awesome. Not too different from the 55 conical fulls I have, but a little faster. Usually ride them on my bigger set ups 8.75+)

[Surf The Earth]

I figured as much. Thanks a lot!!! I only ride 8.75 or 8.8 anyways so thats perfect. can't wait to scoop some

No problem! I just wish they made them in 60mm. I was riding the 60mm OG classics last year and was thinking how awesome that shape would be in F4

[Surf The Earth]

i was thinking the same thing. I was going to get 60mm until i realized the conical full only went up to 58. my perfect wheel would be a 60mm conical full with the classic swirl graphic.

I have a set of 53mm 101 Tablets in orange but haven't skated them. Haven't looked at their newest catalog, maybe they have new ones coming out?

I saw mushrooms? Or something. Its like an old  5050 color swirls Orange and blue.

I couldn't do that unless they like vintage blur wheel or something collectable.

I'm good for now on wheels and trucks.

I’m thinking about getting a set of 56mm classic f4’s. I usually ride 53mm classic f4’s but my local is out of that size. Would 56mm be too big on an 8.38 board with loose ace 44 trucks?

I would say yes but idk what loose means to you. You skate the trucks straight away?
