Good wheels for just about anything
They grip when needed, but when you throw them into a slide, it's like GLASS.

These wheels are decent wheels. They are not very good while sliding/drfiting though, they chatter alot. I have found that most wheels slide/drift way better than these. But, these wheels grip very well for 84a.
