I just got a set of the Formula 4s in 56 classic shape and I usually ride 52s... does anyone have smaller formula 4s they would want to trade for these 56s? Kind of a weird question haha

Nate from DLX was happy to send me some formula 4's in my size, another reason I fucking love everything they do over there.

I couldn't be happier with the way they skate, been doing a bunch of powerslides and they still skate as smooth as when I first set them up. By far my favorite wheels I've ever skated and I honestly like the off white color. Thanks again Nate!

how did you manage to pull that?.......i could use some new wheels.

Nate is A great guy.
DLX is lucky to have a fellow like him.

So are these out yet? I've been putting off buying new wheels for about a month and a half because i wanted to get these damn things.

b.v. · « **Reply #217 on:** July 16, 2013, 07:40:42 AM »

When I got my prebook sheet a few weeks ago I was told 2nd or 3rd week of july.
Here we are, so should be shipping to shops this week.
Ill email today for an update.

Brad Breath · « **Reply #218 on:** July 16, 2013, 04:38:12 PM »

yeah, I need new wheels and have been holding off for these.

its annoying.

fookya · « **Reply #219 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:25:20 PM »

I ordered a set from ccs about a month ago, they were the first place that had them so I decided to jump on it. I have yet to receive them, and have gotten two seperate emails saying that they're back ordered and will ship within a week.

Brad Breath · « **Reply #220 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:11:51 PM »

they never had them. No one has gotten them to sell at retail.

you basically pre-ordered them.

b.v. · « **Reply #221 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:14:59 PM »

Talked to my rep, he said after agenda next week probably.

got a tour of DLXSF in SF and they gave me a set of them for free. so psyched. They've been great!

Good enough to not go back to Bones?

I'd say so for sure. They slide and last like Bones only feel less like plastic.

tablet is flat, full is conical. classic is rounded, like the standard skate wheel

i can't read the dimensions after zooming in. the tablet shape seems nice though. 36.5mm wide? for what size?

edit: nevermind.. i think its 20 something instead of 30, ehhh

Dr Steve Brule · « **Reply #228 on:** July 19, 2013, 06:30:35 PM »

Man I've been skating for almost 10 years but I couldn't tell you how wheels feel different. I guess I've ridden "Classic" wheels most of my days, but how to these different shapes compare?

I struggled with it myself, but either way the width is something like Full > classic > tablet

KMAC · « **Reply #230 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:04:58 PM »

anyone know if the full is supposed to be similar to the SFW shape? i dont think I wanna go back to a slim wheel honestly and it doesnt seem like spitfires gonna make more SFWs

c'mon man read the thread

Here is an sfw and conical full side by side.

Basingstoke · « **Reply #232 on:** July 20, 2013, 03:03:50 AM »

The current Cardiel wheel seems to be the SFW shape in every but name.

What is the difference between the Bighead and the Classic Full ?

When I asked my skate shop in the UK they thought that they might get some Formula Fours to test by the end of the month, but didn't even know when the would have them to sell.

StimCoCruzer · « **Reply #233 on:** July 20, 2013, 03:17:23 PM »

think it said they were 101a - anyone see a profile? got a width?

i havent had any good experiences with spitfire, so i always avoided them. i like a 52mm wide profile 97-98a hardness. spitfire dont really fucks with that.

Tracer · « **Reply #234 on:** July 20, 2013, 03:22:47 PM »

If they couldn't get formulas 1, 2, or 3 right, chances are these wheels will blow 2

You dont know what the fuck you are talking about you idiot. When several SF skateboarders have been riding these wheels for almost a year it speaks for itself.

heritage · « **Reply #236 on:** July 21, 2013, 08:14:34 AM »

The Spitfire 98a Parkburner and the cored Fireliters are my current go to wheel in the Spitfire offerings. I've been on Formula 4 tablet shape and I really like them. I'm probably going back to Parkburners, but the Formula 4 is a damn nice wheel and I understand why everyone is so hyped on them.

Supposedly Jim Thiebaud is sending me some since I flat spotted some classics. Anyone have experience with him giving you shit? Like does it actually get to you?

Alright cool. I sent him an email and I guess I'll be receiving some formula fours. Pretty hyped. These classics are good enough, flat spots don't bother me too much. If formula fours are more durable and slide a little better ill be sold.
