Yeah g5 wheels pretty much dropped off of the planet. I dont know what happened with them, and no, im almost positive that there are no such thing as "g6.5" wheels.

g5s were improved, and g6 was the result. Seems kind of obvious to me.
And yea, g6.5? A lie most likely. happy

i know I am very new here but i started fingerboarding around 2006 and I know for a fact that flatface g6.5s are real because I even ordered a pair from the flatface website and am still riding two right now(the other two broke). G6.5s came out when g7s came out and mike said there were only 30 or something like that sets made. they are backless just like g7s but only have one bearing unlike two and they come in the o material goldy colour.

Yeah. G6.5's exist. I think in the "a" material.. they are the same shape as 7.1. and i'm pretty sure they were for brt's
