I feel like these flatface white i have are pretty beast but its all up to how you ride your board. Its like asking who rides loose or tight. U'd get like 5,000 comments saying loose is better than tight. lol but its truly up to the rider.

I like china wheels tbh, it sounds a bit odd but they are so fast.
Also G6a's are alright.

China Wheels are shite, the bearings are so horrible, the set i gave to my flatmate are so bad for rolling, Tech Deck wheels roll better.

I have a pair which roll really fucking well. Idk though that's my wheel preference, you hate china wheels and I hate oaks.

I suppose i'd rather have a pair of Adidas over a fake brand any day though, but i guess i just like genuine companies.

i dont know why nobody has gotten onto the idea of buying the china wheels in bulk for like 50p a set, then shaping them with a dremel on some homemade setup....you could get an oak like shape no problems, then have your own brand of wheels...

this way it takes away from the 'china' brand as you are putting time into creating your own wheel...(of sorts)...it would be like the shaped wides idea.

i can think of countless ways to make a system to lathe the wheels on for cheap...and get them consistent...even then put handmade painted graphics on them....

come on guys use your imagination....i dont wanna see another deck company with a motive mold.....shape some china wheels. be original.

and oak are king.

China wheels vary some are good some are bad.

I'm not saying that.
I just like a certain pair of chinas I own, because they are actually half decent, they probably aren't my favorite wheels, but meh.
I still use genuine companies that's why I use brt's instead of china trucks and I use my pure and emanant instead of a china deck.

NoCo Roll 9's

So nice

FlatFace ceramics.

I really do prefer Rail City wheels that any others. I'm not kissing Brandons butt or anything but they roll fast and they don't get any bumps or anything in it. If you want some cheap wheels go to www.railcityfb.com and buy a pair or two.

not positive but im fairly positive those wheels are china, and china = no muy bueno

How can you tell if a wheel is china? I own over 7 pairs of bearing wheels and there all the same to me except for the shape but it's alright cause a wheel is a wheel.

Shapes are different, materials are different, quality is different, prices are different. If he is selling wheels for 5 dollars there is now ay he can manufacture them himself and still break even.

Those are china. And probably the worst wheel i never tried.

But hey, if you feel like a wheel is just a wheel, then a crappy wheel might be good enough for you. It sure isn't for me.

I prefer G7.1's and G5's but I ride rail city wheels because I am sponsored by them.

if you prefer those wheels, use them, christ on a bike.
Use rail city's shitty decks.

I don't think you should say the decks are bad quality, if you've never tried them?

ive psyicly had about 27 sets of china bearing wheels pass thru my hands and tested them all out a little bit. most were assembled to completes and sold off cheap to kids at my skatepark.

the broken knuckle china bearing wheels - were 8 sets out of 10 acceptable. rolled fast - not bumpy enough to matter - and stayed rolling nice for a bit.

the other 20% had manufactures defects and were not 100% good to go. some had trash in the bearing areas , some had a wobble ext...
but for 5 to 8 usa dollars - they are acceptable to use if youve got no other options to purchace anything better. or the only wheel youve ever used in your life is a stock tech deck wheel and your a 10 year old kid.

i just hate how china wheels are hard plastic and provide absolutely no grip on any surface exept for maby wood. - i collect fingerboards - and have about 5 setups using the broken knuckle china bearing wheels - and they all still roll fast. so people who say china bearings suck - idk what yall are doing to them - but maby yall got crappy ones - and i magicly got good bearings in my wheels. however.... i do have a set of yellows that have the bearing starting to come un locked from the wheel and it rolls slower - wich can be remedied by pulling the wheel out to snap the bering back to its place - not a big deal and a drop of glue could probably fix it perminantly if i cared to do so.

that being said.

i also own -2 pair of ff g7 wheels - 2 sets of no comply wheels - a set of nollie metal wheels = and all of those wheels absolutely blow china bearing wheels out of the water in terms of usability and performence / grip on the surface - along with shape of the wheel making it more user friendly to grind and ride ext...

and id rather use china wheels over my set of metal core close up g4 wheels. the set i got of them sucked alot and were un ridably bumpy and slow due to both halves of the mold being not centered properly when the wheels were made

Guys don't worry about Emericagangster... it's just holden trolling all of you.

Wheels are personal preference... Right now I'm using Tech Deck Expert Sk8 soft wheels and they are getting the job done.

I should really buy some real fingerboard wheels though.

Brian: People who say that china wheels are crappy are just comparing them to the pro wheels out there. Sure, they are better than a chinese non-bearing wheel (TD etc.).

You should tell brandon to be honest with the ways he gets his wheels. Those wheel srae mass produced. so don't be expecting much sales when you can get the exact same except cheaper.

Um its abit obvious when wheels are china???

If tech deck made the competition series ricta wheels universal with all trucks, I would buy them.

I've heard that Nolliewheels are the best and not too pricey
