They're amazing sliding wheels in my opinion. I've only flipped them once and I didn't notice much change. I keep the slide formula in the park and they ride fine.

i got a set of parkplus inverts in october and rode them inset until about march. i could not flatspot them. long fast and straight stand-ups, blunts and sergios. nothing. not even any coning. they wore even on every wheel.

then i switched trucks and had to outset them. this is when the coning started. then came some tiny flatspots.

i ended up wearing off about 7-10mm before they got spots. Now i have a new set, inset and they're still just as rad. perfectly uniform wear and no flatspots at all.

this is my wheel from now on. nothing else cuts it.
