Favorite Wheel Colors 🌈

142

People do call me a jerk off sometimes :crazy_face:

Nah but seriously I had white / sorta see through wheels like the ones pictures above on my non-electric pintail when I was 12/13 and 120lbs

They lasted maybe a week before they were yellowed and nasty. Never again will I buy any white or clear wheels.

@Sn4Pz I hear you. @torqueboards, let me test opaque white and verify his observations :grin:.

@ahrav is testing urethanes that are white for him. They seemed alright when I saw them.

These ones are not opaque though. They are flat white. No opaque in it.

EDIT: but they are holding up pretty good 800miles in.

5" for urethan seams too big maybe … except if we change the core, if it’s an option too (just to still get enough material but still lightweight as possible ? just an idea. But not as narrow as Gummies).
I play with this in the past :

The thing I like about this translucent white is that anyone can dye the wheels whatever color they want. Maybe a partnership with RitDye and @torqueboards could include the dye of each person’s choice with their order (for an extra fee of couse). True spirit of DIY, and no one has to settle for a color they dont love!

I for sure would second @rusins choice on wheels.
Or go with a hub color the same dark gray, and change the darker green out for a deep purple thane.
If people can’t decide and the poll is too close, just go with easy to dye white thane.

Also, is the kegal hub smaller than abec? They look about the same, but I’m not quite sure.

The kegel hub is smaller and stronger and allows for deeper 'thane

I like the sound of that.
… might need to swap over to kegal if they make a sweet ass new color :eyes:

There’s a big OR you seem to have misplaced
A last resort. A white flag if you will.

White means everyone who doesn’t dye them gets shafted :rofl:

Most folks don’t dye their wheels.
