choiceSkateboard 99a Wheels

After 15 years of buying only the most well-known brands (Bones, Spitfire, Darkstar, etc...) a string of bad luck left me with my finances a mess and looking to save money any way possible. I got these wheels back in the beginning of November. When I first ordered them, I was fairly skeptical. Most of the time you actually do get what you pay for, and the low price on these bad boys was sending the wrong vibe. But after riding these wheels, I refuse to buy anything more expensive!The 58mm size was ALMOST perfect for my cruiser/skatepark board. I only say ALMOST because next time I order these wheels (in a few more weeks) I'm going to opt for the 60mm size. In all other aspects, these wheels remind me of skating Darkstars. Similar durometer rating, same color as most Darkstars, and the grip on both street and concrete parks is absolutely fantastic! On a typical skate day (3-4 times a week), I'll grab my skateboard and bomb 2 miles downhill, push another 4 miles to the nearest skatepark, skate for a few hours, then push 4 miles back and walk up the hill (I used to be Infantry, then I got fat, so now I'm trying to lose weight again). The point is that I put a LOT of miles on these wheels at a very fast rate. They used to be 58's and now they're about 52's. Considering that I've put well over 300 miles of skating on these guys, I'd say that they're holding up pretty gosh-darned well. Chalk it up to the 99a rating!Maybe I just got a great batch or something, or maybe this actually is a quality product at a great price. Take it for what it's worth, I love these wheels because of the way they last and the way they grip, and I will absolutely order them again.

I definitely enjoy these wheels. They are really all that you expect from skateboard wheels. Except the one thing that I really must say, is that you have to like, break them in. Or get used to them, on or the other. Because they aren't quite 99a wheels. Maybe 90a or so. Just soft enough to notice a little give in the wheels when you first ride them. But as I said before, you either break them in or get used to it, and they are just perfect.The only other downside except the little softness and slow speed at the early riding of the wheels, is that the wear, just a hint faster than Bones, or Spitfire. But it really is worth the price difference. I have skated with these for almost 2 months, and am barely starting to notice that they are getting a bit smaller when I look at them. Compared to Bones wheels that I skated for 3-4 months before they were too small to skate anymore.Other than those two things. these are great wheels, and I greatly recommend, as long as you get past those couple of real minor things.

If you are looking to buy wheels for an avid skater, these are not what you're looking for. Think of these as a dollar store water pistol and "actual" skateboard wheels are Super Soakers.There is really only one reason to buy these wheels and that is that you want to swap two wheels off your friend's longboard and replace them with these.I did take my friend's longboard out for a spin after putting two of these wheels on so I know the wheels roll. I would avoid them if you're looking to cruise around because they will break traction easily (causing the board to slide sideways). I would also avoid them if you plan on doing ollies and flip tricks because they will likely flatspot.Basically, don't take these wheels seriously. If you're looking to goof around or want to put them on a board for a 10 year old who has never stepped foot on a board in his/her life, then for $8 go ahead!

Bought these for my son, he likes the way they look and says they’re okay, but says they are slower than his other wheels, but they are still on his board after two weeks, so I’m guessing they work for him?

I purchased the white 54mm version. A new set of MiniLogo bearings slipped into the wheels pretty easily. There was enough clearance in the center of the wheel for bearings spacers to fit. Although the wheels don't seem to be 100% cut and shaped perfectly, they roll well and slide alright. Riding on asphalt smoothens them out anyway. Overall, buy these if you want a simple clean look to your wheels and don't want to dish out on brand name or pro-model wheels.

Shipped even more quickly than I expected. I'm a big fan of Mini-Logos, could care less about graphics or colors on my wheels, and given the price of these, I thought I'd get 'em a shot. I'm definitely glad I did. After reading a bunch of the reviews on posted for the various types of wheels offered here, I think people either need to change the size they're riding or buy decent bearings. Throw a set of Bones Reds in these and you're good to go.ROLL FOREVER

I found that these were good for just basic riding around. My 1 major qualm with these wheels is the sliding. If you're like me and pivot or slide your flip tricks, these aren't for you. I found it incredibly hard to slide any of my tricks in the street on these wheels. At the skatepark tho, not even a slightest issue. So I'm these are good for for basic tricks, on the street or park riding. I hope this helps someone in there decision for wheels!

These wheels are ok. I skate every day with these and after about a month the wheels are already turning redish white on the bottom. I don't know why. My skateboard sometimes slides on it's own causing me to fall down sometimes and I'm pretty sure it's because of the wheels. Also, when I installed my bones super reds bearings it was EXTREMELY difficult because in the whole where the bearings go are small it had me sweating. They're okay wheels not to perfect I just like them because they're cheap and i can ride them with no problem accept sometimes sliding on it's own.

the wheels are round and red just like i ordered. they will be used as axel sliders on a supermoto.

Softer than advertised, side by side with my 58mm 99a spitfires aint even close. Returned them. Ive been riding for 25 yrs and soft wheels like this arent good for much other than cruising/filming.

i love these wheels

Wobbly wheels, and softer than any 99a wheels I've ever used.
