Personally, the only two brands of wheels I would consider getting for BRT's are Oaks or Joycult. Both fit BRT's perfectly...not to mention the superlative feel and performance. Again, this is just my personal preference though. - Jono |

There are plenty of wheels in stock on their site: oakwheels.com Also, as KapitalJ said, Joycult wheels are another great option. I've personally have not had the pleasure of trying them yet, but I have heard only absurdly good things about them. Plus, the owner seems like a super rad dude |

| Winklers or Flatface is you like plastic. Joycults look way to big and they aren't too smooth apparently |

| A bit of self promotion here but the v2.0 Cartwheels are about 10x as good as the v1.0.
Shoot me a pm and I'll sort you a deal out.

| Cartwheels are sick man, cant go wrong. The material is a perfect mix of plastic and urethane feel. |

If you're after some good all-rounders, go for the 2.0's or Pro's! Can't go wrong. |

Mine are nice and squeaky on wood and granite, haven't tried them on concrete though! Oaks are a bit softer than Cartwheels, it's down to preference but I definitely prefer Cartwheels over Oaks. |

You'll find with wheels that it's a preference thing rather than wheels being categorically better than each other. |
