So it's my birthday soon and Im probably gonna order some wheels
And the question is what's better Winkler's or Flatface? Ive herd good things about both
but I really don't know what to choose.
So from your experiences what's better Winkler's or Flatface?
Please let me know

Winklers if you have the money.

I prefer flatface. Great wheels for the price.

I prefer Winklers but it depends if you wanna buy some ff blackriver edition or ff G7

Winklers are a lot smoother, and quick
Flatface have bumpier bearings but are really quick
Also 750th post- 3*'s yay

Hmm would it depend cause Im getting BRR edition Flatface wheels if so but does regular Winkler's fit on BRT's?

Yea, normal Winkler Wheels are BRR edition.

That made no sense,
but if you're asking if Winklers fit on BRT's, Yes they do, they're all designed for BRT's (I think)

Yeah but I thought since Winkler Wheels also have a Blackriver Edition wheel then maybe it was just that wheel that fit BRT's

bumpy bearings? I've had 7 sets of FF wheels (g7.1 b roberts, brr ed ceramic whites, brr ed ceramic blues, brr ed clears x2, brr ed teflons x2) in my time and none have had bad bearings except one wheel on one of the ceramics that was broken.

Imo the size of FF brr eds is perfect,so they're my preference. but both them and winklers are super smooth and super nice quality.

personally its winklers for me. (if your going for a basic black/white wheel)

or the ff 'a' material is really nice if you can live with the colour.....

i think the 'd' is inferior to winks material though.....not tried the new clear ff one though.

but both brands make good wheels. get which you prefer as you cant go wrong........(unless you get sent a defective wheel from America in which case good luck with that)

ff for me but buy winklers cause orders from flatface takes like 3 weeks to.come

They take around 1 week for me and I live in Sweden so that should not be a problem.

Flat face shipping varies to be honest ..
Once it took a week and another time 3 weeks!!! Haha

TBH Flatface D's and Winklers feel the same to me, lol..

International orders will depends on how long stuff gets stuck in customs. Of the two, I've loved my FFs, never tried Winklers (looking forward to grabbing Will's at MeetUp, try 'um out )

Flatface are better for the price and have more styles

But Im gonna order from Blackriver cause Im probably gonna order a BW complete with some Winkler Wheels and Germany is kinda like a "neighbouring" country to Sweden (Where I live) so yeah.

Yeah buy a complete

I prefer Winkler.. I had 1 set of FF G4 back then in 2011, but then I realized I can't use it in regular TD trucks (2010/2011 in Indonesia, BRT or Ytrucks was still a "luxurious" stuff), and after I use it in BRT, the bearing came off the wheels.. No disrespect for FF, I guess I just got a "bad" one.. But since then I never use FF again..
