Thanks, Sir of Spades
Well how do you like how the current wheels feel? If you are in the slide forum I'm guessing you want to be sliding, so 75a simply won't do. It's a small board, so if you want to use it for more park/dogtown type moves then you'll really want to bump up the duro to over 88a (in general). However on a small board, hard wheels can make the ride very uncomfortable.

Tell us how you want the board to feel and that will help us help you.
