Default Just a little help
Well I tried to save money and buy a cheap longboard....got what I paid for. Now I'm spending about $100 more then my friends, if not double the amount of their longboards. Anyway my question is I have a Gravity deck, Independent Trucks, IDS Oust Moc 9 bearings, what type of wheels should I get? I bought my board for cruising and a little hill bombing, nothing to crazy.

Which deck, what width trucks?

Welcome to the fish!

There is nothing wrong with Gravity decks.

Which Gravity deck? As long as it's not a mini, you're probably looking at 80-83a and 70-75mm wheels. I would check out Orangutangs or Big Zigs.

I didnt mean to imply that the Gravity deck was the cheap deck I bought. It was a Carve One.

With that setup I expect you will want to stay in the 66mm range.

What size wheels are you running now?
