choice Skateboard 99a Wheels

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!

Feel a bit softer than 99a and are quiet but I think they are perfect for commuting and ramp skating! They glide through the city streets without being loud in the morning! Daddy likey!

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?

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 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!

Much softer than advertised. Mine were also cut very poorly. I measured these with a micrometer and digi calipers, and certain dimensions varied by 0.9 mm! The factory aparently holds poor tolerances. The holes are also cut off center, which destroyed my bearings

How can you go wrong with new rubber on your board? These roll true and have not given me any problems.

I used these to be the wheels on a camera dolly for film making so being as firm and smooth as they are is tremendous. These wheels keep the camera moving so smooth there's NO shaking!

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.

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

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

i love these wheels
