The Blackriver family of products tend to have higher prices, possibly due to the fact that they have high expenditure running their store, sponsoring events and their team and all their living costs. As for which wheels are better, it is entirely down to preference. If you like standard harder fingerboard wheels, go for the Winklers. If you like softer wheels with more grip, like realism of the material and wheel graphics, go for Oaks. |

| yes. I just got my set of Blue ones yesterday, and the stock bushings aren't the best.
Go to no comply distribution and buy their super soft bushings.

| Then you need to get a hold of Colin. He makes cheap deck making sets, and the mold is made with a CNC mold as master. |

| 2.0's come with locknuts and have a slightly different profile in my eyes.
MY TURN:
I bought my yellowood with a prepaid visa, and Even though I got it, somehow I got my money back.
After researching, it turns out my order was still pending after 2 weeks, likely because they forgot to change the order status,so my order got refunded. If I didn't pay them, I would feel like a robber, so what should I do now?
