    Default Preferred wheels?

    I got a new board from a friend. Some local company board, Ace trucks, and Gold wheels. The wheels kinda suck. They don't slide that well, they feel like their being dragged, and I don't get that loud screech noise I like. I'm pretty sure I'll get flatspots while sliding during a hillbomb. What wheels would you guys recommend? I usually skate Bones, but I thought I'd try to switch it up a little. Always down for something new.

    company doesnt really matter, hardness/size/width...

    sounds like you want a harder wheel, dont really know what to recommend, i like em soft...

    I suggest you do a little reading http://www.ehow.com/how_2209120_sele...rd-wheels.html ect

    then pick something, then go from there, little softer, harder, bigger whatever

    I've been riding the same size wheel for 3 years. I just want to switch it up a little bit, so I thought I'd ask for some recommendation. I know the hardness of most wheels that most companies use. I've tried multiple types of wheels. Spitfire classics, streetburners, parkburners, Bones SPF and STF, Revolutions, Pigs, and now Golds. I like to get other people's recommendations when looking for new products.

    i've always used this blank company called dualite or something. They are pretty hard and slide good, only downside is that they wear down pretty quickly
