70mm High.
39mm Contact Patch
Center Set? (Apparently)
Alright, let me start by saying these wheels were fun! .....Alo these wheels are not center set.
When i first got them, to be honest I bought these wheels because they were cheap and I needed a new slide wheel, anyway I set them up on a Rayne mini Killswitch and within 20 minutes i had fallen in love with these wheels.
They have a very confidence inducing smooth, predictable slide to them.
That being said they do take a bit of breaking in and during that period I found myself slipping out and losing my board a few times, the slide on these wheel surprised me a bit (Coming off wider contact patch wheels like 4prez), they weren't actually that different in feel, they just slid a bit longer.
The only wheel I could compare it to would be a similar duro Abec 11 Gumball, but smoother.
They do push back quite a bit for a small contact patch wheel and feel good to slide at any speed.
They were leaving reasonable thane lines almost straight away and they only got bigger till the wheel reached the low 60mm range then strangely enough they actually didn't leave much of a line at all till right before the core, which was one downside to the wheel, it wore rather quickly. I cored mine within two months and that was when my best standup slides were 20 feet. I cant imagine it holding up well to the 45 odd foot standup's nowadays, on the plus side they were quite resistant to flat spots.
All in all a cheap wheel, super smooth, great to progress on and ride and slide quite well on rough roads (Better than Tweakers and Baluts by far, similar to Zombie Hawgs) and kept a consistent feeling till they hit the core.
