Wheels are really all the same, just different hardness. Try to find a width and diameter that you like. Thin skinny wheels are for tech skatin and bigger and wider are for vert. BUT it is really up to you. Rotate your wheels once and a while so that your board will ride even.

I got the same ones as Dylan, and I have only been riding them for a week or 2 and they have a flat spot! I won't get another set thats for sure.

I got the glow-in-the-dark wheels, and the are really good, they roll smooth and last long. Review by Dylan

Blank

Advantages:

Last as long as brand name, cheap.

Disadvantages:

Dont know what you are getting.

Comments:

I only buy blanks because I feel there is no real difference in wheels. They pretty much are all the same, just different hardness and sizes. Blanks for me vary, I have got flat spots, core popping out and wheels that last a couple months, so you got to gamble when you buy them, because you really dont know what you are getting.
