Dont get the 3 spoke, they ovalize really easily get the 6 spoke ones, they are the most reliable wheels i've ever ridden. I've had 3 pairs of them, and I only get a new pair because they got square. There are only a few of them that have ever been dehubbed, or chunked.

phoenix
pros: last really long, dont dehub or chunk as easily, reliable
cons:slow, get square fast and get slower

proto
pros:fast af, feel super smooth
cons:dehub easier and such

if you aren't stupid with proto's you wont dehub them, i'd say go for sliders just because they're faster but if you don't care about speed then get phoenix

Do Phoenix wheels feel like flat tires

I wouldn't say that, They are fast at first, then slow down, then they harden.
And I've had the ones on my scooter now for about 5 months and they still aren't quite square yet.

no they dont they just dont go as fast because theyre softer i think, then they get square and get slower

Really, none of mine became slower when they were square.

Nope, I don't know why people say that, I really like mine.
They a little softer than most wheels though.

well my buddys did, alot slower, but they are really reliable and last long, he rapes flyout and he had them for about a year

 

[Conner.]

Wait so even when they harden there slow

 

[Tobin]

yes

 

[Robert]

No, They are really fast when you first get them, then they slow down a little bit, then once they are about square they get faster.

They are really good for powerslides too, and they are really hard to get flat spots on.

to me they feel like rocks i HATE THEM...
