| What do you guys think are the best wheels for surfaces such as concrete?
Most durable wheel for outdoor shredding?
Makes me nervous to fb something that may ruin my wheels, especially when they cost a lot of monies. |

| Get china wheels if your affraid to damage your wheels  I don't like oaks on concrete, they are sometime too grippy. I have 3 years old classic winks that I ride on all surface, they are awesome everywhere. |

| China because as said above, they are cheap and not all that great to begin with.
I like my Roswells "finger longboard/cruiser wheels" for outdoors, they are soft urethane single bearing wheels for $15. Cheap and great outdoors.
Personally I wouldn't use a set of oaks outdoors, just because of the price, I wouldn't want to mess them up. |

or basicly any wheel lol Ive put a bunch of wheels to the test.. and most can handle the abuse but they will NEVER be smooth again. Once you use some wheels outdoors and they get worn they feel like crap on a smooth table or indoor surface. |

| I'd say TD LB wheels, or china wheels. I'd say the best wheels quality wise (for this purpose) would be Oaks. But I prefer using LB wheels or china wheels because they aren't amazing from the start, and are cheap anyway.  |

| China wheels for me, I have an extra set I use for outdoor fingerboarding because like you, I never want to ruin my expensive wheels on rough surfaces! |

| I just use oaks for everything i tend to just stick to one type/make of wheel and use that wheel for everything wheels dont just fuck up from using them once outside you must be doing summat wrong with them. oaks are the perfect material for everything really concrete being the best for them in my opinion just buy some oaks or close up wheels you cant go wrong |
