| Fully clear dual durometer wheels? That would look/feel sick without anybody even knowing you had them! Sneaky! |

| I actually like these. The look anyway. It lets you get a grippy, but hard wheel! And with say a two tone split ply, you could get the materials to match. |

| Has noone picked up on the fact that these have been made before? Mike didn't release a stock of them, or if he did but it was very limited, but I remember someone (possibly Thom?) Has a set of FF G6-5's, they're the a material outside with x on the inside |

| I don't get the point, you can have a or whatever material on the inside, but that wouldn't affect how it actually rolls, surely it would just feel like the outer material.
Im guessing its purely aesthetical, they would look cool on matching trucks / deck |

Im guessing its purely aesthetical, they would look cool on matching trucks / deck If it has for example the T material on the inside the wheel would easy brake (as the t material brt ed did) But If you had the X material it wouldn't slip. But dual durometer allows you to have a like the T material on the outside and a harder material on the inside so the wheels last much longer |

Like would your wheels sag down when you landed? I don't know how I would feel about that with super loose trucks, it would be like fingerboarding on spaghettio's |

the t's suck because they break on the inside, but the feel they give is great. so you could have the feel of a T wheel, with the durability of an A |

| I was thinking that maybe when they get a bit of use to them, they will maybe split? I maybe wrong but that was my idea of it. They look terrible, IMO. |
