| Yeah they work...the only difference between BRR edition wheels and regular bearing wheels is the hole on the back of the wheel is bigger to allow the bearing to sit all the way against the hanger. Just be sure to use some wheel washers with them on td trucks tho... |

im afraid i dont agree with this tmg........all my non brr ed wheels the bearings lock up on brts and the nuts cant be tightened all the way....well they can, but the wheels wont spin......also the nuts need to be glued..........ok.....you can use them without glue...but if you sesh them, the wheels will lock up, wont spin etc, etc..........this is the case with my ff g4s and g6s....i dont know about dual bearing wheels..i know my substance dual golds wont though... brr ed wheels, im not too sure, but i think the bearing core is a little longer, so the nuts can be tightened all the way and still allowing the bearing to spin......imo the only wheels to use without problems on brts, is brr ed wheels........ and yes ff brr ed will work on tech/wide trucks.....i would use washers though... |

| ^truth, as far as I know as well Use washers and they should work. BUT, if I was gonna get brr wheels, substance are the same price and imo have nicer materials.. quartz or neo or thc. Unless you want just plain white, which I also really like.. but, yea, check out substance as well, They'll work just the same AND they come with washers |

brr ed wheels, im not too sure, but i think the bearing core is a little longer, so the nuts can be tightened all the way and still allowing the bearing to spin......imo the only wheels to use without problems on brts, is brr ed wheels..... The core of the bearing is the same size, just the milled hole on the back of the wheel is smaller on non brr editions...see my how to HERE,where i take a set of FF g6'd Branden Roberts and make the m brr wheels...these are on my main setup still today. Dual bearing wheels have to be glued on brr's, no questions asked. On a single bearing wheel, the bearing is 2mm solid steel, hence if the hole is milled larger on regular non brr single bearing wheels, you can tighten them down all the way. If you are trying to use a single bearing without making the hole bigger, they wont work and will have to be glued. On dual bearing wheels, each bearing is 1mm wide with a milled "lip" in between the bearings = 3mm. When you tighten them down all the way, it pinches the bearing, not allowing them to rotate so they def need to be glued. Maybe this explains a little better? |

| i get what your saying...........but, in my experience the only wheels that work properly on brts are brr ed wheels........normal single bearing wheels like g4s,g6s, if you bore the hole out at the back they will fit on the truck, but when you tighten the nuts the wheels lock and wont spin...not due to the hole at the back, due to the bearing being different....this doesnt happen on brr ed wheels....dont ask me why..i guess its to do with the bearing? ok, you can put g6s on say...and they might spin ok, but with a hardcore sesh the wheels will lock up....and the nuts will need to be glued.. but when you do this the axel moves about and the wheels lock anyway...... maybe all your brts the axel doesnt move on them? |

| Ahhhhhh I get what your saying now yeah they do have a tendency to slide back and lock on the hanger, nothin a little tug on the wheel can't fix the only true brr wheels I have are winklers and an older set of quartz, and the winks will still slide back and lock too...oh well it just teaches you to be steezy my brr quarts were made into duals cause the axle would move like you were saying... |

| ahhh, you see now ....yeah, ive tried my g4s and g6s and they will work on brts with your tutorial, but i would say only on new brts where the axel doesnt move about....when the axel moves about, (as it should, but on some brts its quite stiff) the wheels keep locking...if you dont mind them locking up cool.....but i couldnt ride them cos they lock up after like every trick.....i guess i must be quite heavy handed? brr ed wheels you wont get none of this locking up...just super smooth wheels perfectly tightened to the truck |

| The only time mine really lock up is when I land primo or somethin...out of the 5 sets of brt that I have, I only have one set that the axle doesn't move too easily, but the haven't been "broke in" yet... But yes William, like we have said brr wheels will work fine, as long as you use washers |
