Yes. I noticed that when I put BRR edition wheels on dump trucks, they lose their grip haha.

Would G4's or BRR wheels be a better choice if I were to set them up with TD Wides?

I think I'll go with G4's then. I like the look of them.
Just needed to know from someone who has had both.

Do boards come with kingpin holes anymore? I have been out of the loop for a couple years and was wondering if they've become obsolete

Yep, what Trevor said. Personally, I like to have them, just incase. Some china trucks stick out a bit, and if you use custom kingpins like screw in inverted ones, sometimes they stick out the bottom a bit.
If you are thinking about starting a small company, it would be easy to add an option on your orders FOR kingpin holes, that way nobody gets them unless they request them. They take a couple seconds to drill, and you could prob drill them on a finished (laquered) deck without too much hassle.

29 has been around for a pretty long time, but wider (31+) has recently gained popularity... it's hard to say an exact year, but if I had to I'd say '10. And in late '12 and '13 we're seeing a shift to 32 becoming the standard, and now more people want 33.5 and 34

I think that 33.5 will be the widest standard board in the future, like 32mm is nowadays. But I can't see them becoming bigger than that because it would be way too hard to flip!
I hope so.. 33.5 is really wide lol

They're pretty good if you make it correctly, almost all companies used bondo molds at first then went on to metal molds. If you're making them for yourself I'd definitely recommend it over paying God knows how much for a metal. But if you're starting a company I'd start with bondo then once you're getting into it and all that jazz, invest in a metal mold. That's just my thought anyway
