Wheel Recommendations

[EricTheComposer]

Hey, wusup yall.

I live in the Boston, and lately I have been doing a lot of city cruising to compensate for not having a skatepark nearby. Problem is that I am burning through wheels pretty quickly thanks to all uneven sidewalks and rough streets I am riding on. What are the best wheels (at a good price, I am on a college budget) for just hard riding, power-sliding on pavement and such?

Thanks so much.

Eric

razor pro mod wheels. $1 each and come with bearings and a spacer. u can dye em any colour u want. jus hot glue the cores and ur good to go. but if u want em id hurry they sell out quick. www.inward-scooters.com

If you want cheap metal cores that last, demon metal cores from titetoyz last pretty well. I've also heard good things about east2west.com's wheels I'm from Boston too and I ride proto sliders and they rock but they're expensive. so do twizzlers from titetoyz but they're not good for a tight budget.

The only thing you have heard about east2west is that kid who keeps talking about them.
Demon and east2west wont be much different because there OEM.

 

[J SWEETS]

east2west isnt oem

east2west isnt oem

Why do you think they're so cheap?
Why do you think they're so hard and slippery?
Why do you think thee urethane goes like that? (referring to picture that that kid took of his)

I've had OEM wheels, a long time ago, so i know what they're like.

 

[matr!]

oh em geeee, Zane rode OEM?

 

[Zaηe]

back when no one had even heard of the words OEM.
and i was a little munchakin.

 

[matr!]

haha, you fell for the "yaks are fucking awesome" trick did you?

 

[Zaηe]

nah the " Eagles are all the way in st.kilda, whats this at bayside blades? RED metalcores?
sure why not." trick.

 

[matr!]

haha, what is it these days, $1.20 and half an hour for a tram ticket? Idk, haven't been to melbourne in ages. lol

 

[Zaηe]

$1.70 for 2 hour, more if you want both zones.
I was little and st.kilda = to far, especially by public transportation.
