I know why I rode Orange wheels.

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

So I went and got orange pigs so it be know as soon as I roll up.

Down to drink fight and Fuck.

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.

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.

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

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?

Hey, I just wanted to ask, if someone had the same problem with formula fours chipping recenlty. I chipped my 53m 99a Classics a week ago, but wasnt thinking too much about it because i had them for about 2 months. So I just bought a new set, which I skated today for the first time and it chipped again. The chip is not as big as the chip on the old set but it kind of bummed me out. They are my favorite wheel by far and  I had 7 sets prior to those two sets and they never chipped on me that badly before.

* I skated the same spots as always

The majority of the sets of F4s I’ve had have all done that at one point somewhere down the road. Used to make a big fuss about it when my gear OCD was at its craziest but now I just shrug it off; it doesn’t really effect the performance of the wheel, but I will say that it definitely ain’t the most aesthetically pleasing to look at your wheel and see a giant chunk missing, especially if the wheel is still pretty new.

[Maxi205]

Yeah you are kind of right, had small chips on them before and just have ridden through them. But the first chip is for sure too big. So I think i will contact DLX this time, since it was the first session on the second set. Would you contact them via Slap, or go over to their website and fill in their form for their wheels guarantee ?

[Maxi205]

Thanks I wrote them a message on IG, they wouldn't let me fill in the form since im from Germany.
Hopefully they will respond.

DLX has great customer service, I had a less than great experience with my Ishod Twin Tail and they hit me up to arrange a board to be sent to me. I covered the shipping 1/2 way which is fair considering I live in Asia.
Do expect a delay given the current COVID situation though, I think their warehouse / customer service are not operating at full capacity.
