| honestly, wheels are wheels. people prefer different things. if your low on cash just use techdeck until you can afford something like flatface, no comply, substance, etc... flatface has a wide variety of materials and shapes so they're always good to look at and/or purchase. |

| Nocomply: cheap and steady, amazing graphics coming out too as well as lab wheels! Flatface: quite expensive but top of the range! nice colours and specialist materials, unique bearing systems too Winkler: Durable and classic mainly, the new TLCs are nicely shaped and coloured though! Oak: Realistic and smooth, loads of sick colours and they wear so nicely, also great for outside seshing and granite but not so good on soft wood ramps a bit grippy for me though! Substance: Extremely durable, nice colours and innovative designs, like the massive flow wheels, which I'd never ride as they're humongous but they've got good ideas! You could use these wheels for years Closeup: Very cheap and realistic with cool printed text, oaks are the next step up from those though Hope that helped! I personally love my turqoise flatface wheels, but thats mainly because of the colour, which goes perfectly with my setup I also looove the new Flatface G5 frosty wheels, they're like you're rolling on air! |
