| Well, I've noticed many people are selling like g6a's, and g6d's, what are the best wheels of all the companies? I may be looking for some wheels soon, I only have the tech deck old school wheels on my set up |

| Substance, they'll last longer than you do.
I've heard good things of Oak Wheels, they'll be my next set. |

| the new quartz are a really nice material, but my brr ed ones i got all the bearings slipped within a week....one on the first day......so i wasn't too happy about that....but id love the newer dual versions, and i really love my older quartz material brr eds, that i modded to duals and i wouldn't get oaks....only get them if you dont like round wheels. |

| dual of course. but the question is are they really so much better that it's really worth an extra 25-30 dollars? No. Not really. Theres really not even that big of a performance increase. |

| I don't like winklers. I had a set of blue magics and they were just awful. and Timmy has a set of winklers I had a while back.. and they really aren't holding up and rolling that smooth, and the bearings are slow.
but i also prefer duals. |

| yeah i like the 'white' winklers.....ive never tried the blue magics, but i wouldnt get a set.....and i think all wheels will get thrashed quick using them non stop on concrete and stuff......every set of winks ive had have held up much better than any other set of single bearing wheels ive had.......the thing that really gets on my wick about brr ed wheels is that the bearings always move about after a little while......evry set of brr eds ive owned has done this to me, other than my winkler brr eds, and all the other big daddies, tlcs and d rex's hold up well for me.
but if you are on a budget it totally recommend no comply wheels cos they really are great wheels for the money, single and duals... |

| substance quartz, all the way. I've never had a single problem with mine, they're still perfect, used them indoors + out, and they're over half a year old now : o I hear winklers are amazing and they're the next wheels I'll try.. assuming I don't just get another set of quartz if I ever get another set of wheels. To me they're perfect in every way, so, yea, thats my recommendation I guess And duals aren't worth the extra price I don't think.. But they are good. |

| oaks are not round.....they are lumpy and flatspotted.....wonky even......they are terrible....you have to ride a set to find out....but if you want advice from someone whos brought a set and tried others......dont waste your money |

As long as they have a decent speed to them, i'm more than happy. |
