Spitfire formula four

og classics get really sharp edges when they wear down…
right?

Skating f4 classic 52's. They are probably 50's by now. No sharp edges.

I think the edges will get sharper, the more the wheels are ridden down. Maybe that is just in my head, but I always felt the sharp edges don't help that much with flip tricks. Especially those flips that finish the rotation really close to the ground. Those kinda flips where you think, oh damn I will land primo but then you roll away surprisingly. I hope that made sense ^^ Otherwise, the sharp edges look kinda cool and the lock in for grinds is nice.

OG classics are a different shape.

Ahh! My bad.

Any wheel worn down enough can get very squared off, but the OG Classics are very sharp and often chunk out on the edges when they wear down some, so they don't last as long as others, like normal Classics which can be worn down a lot and still feel ok.



Wheels that are rounded that stay roundish / not sharp when they wear down:

Classics
Classic Full
Radials
Radial Full


Wheels that get really sharp or often jagged edges when they wear down:

Tablets
OG Classics
Conical
Conical Full
Lock Ins

I keep hearing about the classic fulls but I must have hibernating when they were a thing. What years were those out?

The most recent were the Max Palmer wheels exclusively on the Limosine site, so no surprise there that they didn't get a lot of a show.  Mid last year was it?

The Repeater graphic came out maybe last year too, natural 52 and 54, black 53 mm sizes, some still out there.


Prior to that, from pre 2020 there were the Grosso versions and the Lance versions, some different colours, but also some 3 / 1 mixes, so three natural to one coloured wheel in each set.


Well before that they were a staple, just the usual blue graphic for 99s and red graphic for 101s and available everywhere in sizes from 53, 54, 56, 58 at least.


I should have just reposted this one I put up a while back, but you can check out all the info and pics from page 186 here:

Yes. Takes a while though. At least with 58s. That's the only set I've had. Purple and green. I need some gold now.

Just radial, not the full version.
I rode some conical full samples so they are coming potentially.
Classic Reynolds 52/53/54
Radial 56/58

[close]

No radial in 54? In the spitfire instagram post, it shows a non-Reynolds wheel labeled “54”. So I assumed that was the radial graphic

right? Radial 53/54s are the best dims imo

[kneebone]

New DadBoard video got me sold on these 93s I think

[Yakusoku2]

Did Spitfire wheels increase their price recently in your countries? In Japan they are ¥1000 (about $8) more expensive than a few months ago.

Yeah they’ve been steadily rising here in the US. In the DadBoard video I referenced above, he nonchalantly mentions something like “if you’re going to pay $50 for a set of wheels, I want you to be informed” so I’m guessing these 93s are going to be even more expensive than the 99/101 F4s.

Yes I heard we will be paying $90 in Canada soon and my local said he is probably not going to be ordering spitfire anymore


That being said I finally got around to setting up some old dragons someone gave me and I actually think I could ride these full time. So maybe I will bite the bullet and pay it , but at least I have the advantage of having lots of fresh wheels at the moment so hopefully can scoop on a sale after they’ve been out for a minute

Yes, Spitfire now reaching 75€ in the Euro zone from what I can see online. Used to be below 70€.

When ValSurf had the 93a wheels for sale (until 20 minutes after I posted a link), they were all priced at ~$40 from the 52mm Reynolds Classics to the 58 mm Radial. The price people pay is going to depend on the shop, but they shouldn’t be priced differently than other F4 wheels.

In America, prices went up from $40 to anywhere from $45-50, but a few shops are still doing $40-42 (for new releases). For example: ValSurf does $40/set, DLX/Atlas does $42/set, 303 does $47/set (but $55/set of Big Beatdowns), and No Comply does $50/set.

$50 might be the American MSRP that shops are hesitant to push because people can buy Bones X-Formula for $40-42.

[DinnerDog425]

I was going to say if I go to my local for some F4s after taxes it's damn near $50 dollars.

I agree. They was my fall back piece wheel till my last two purchases. That really sharp edge is meh I guess.
Looks like a Zombu wheel tho. That's kinda cool.

I seen Dad Boards video today on the 93s. He said the radials come in 58.

I can't wait to see a set. Especially since the 97s are so bad ass. And he said they don't bounce like as bad as a dragon.
The sapphires was less bounty than the 80ds.

I should probably look to see if there's a Thorne video too. Ben Dad and Thorne are my main combined video source for product testing. As they are all similar to me in different ways.

Also
I'm assuming the 58 radial is going to be about 33 34mm wide since full isn't in the title.
That's sick if it's true.
 I'd like a 1/1 swap for my dragons. Which I enjoyed but definitely prefer Spit products. It's my shit. I liked pig too.

I'm just going to give the dragons to my brothers kids see if a soft wheel sparks interest. If it doesn't I'll take um back.

Hahahaha. Lil POSERS wanna play Roblox 

They gotta earn the Spits. Old or not

I saw that and was going to screen shot to add here, but then thought everyone now knows what sizes and shapes from what others had said, so it didn't really need a pic as well, or did it?

I do like the card that I got with the other new wheels when they came out so it will be cool to keep that one too.

93 duro wheels

Classic shape in 52, 53 and 54 mm

Radial shape in 54, 56 and 58 mm sizes


Seen people posting info about other shapes too, but I am guessing they were only the testing wheels, same with that simple black ring graphic on the wheels Adriano got too - they look really good, but only came on the special pre production wheels.

Any which way, the hype seems to be real with a few people already posting good things about them.


* I would be stoked to have this wheel graphic on any and every set of wheels, but that's ok, graphics are only a fraction of the whole thing, which I guess is why I take them off anyway most of the time.

Well duh. I meant like on the YouTube. Maybe he's never done a Venture video.

[Kaezan]

I'm excited to try these 93a out. Hope I can get my hands on them soon.

I liked the Dragons, but they coned really fast on me. Also didn't like the sound they made (too quiet).

[Síota]

Yeah stoked to try these especially after the reviews I've read here about them. Gotta ask my local about them as he told me no one besides me rides classics around here so will have to ask him to get the 52's for me.

[Badandoldskater]

So when do those 93a come out ?

[tuesday]

People mentioned April 1
