Re: What wheels are these?
I have some early no-skoolz and they are all yellowed. The softer ones I have (81a) look just like those flashbakcs in the picture. No clue on the actual durometer, but they are softer versions for sure. My stuff is from the '03 time frame. Something else I have noticed is that my old 96a noskoolz are really dead feeling. they weren't like that when new. the compound aged and lost some of its capability. My old flashbacks (75a) are still the nice shade opaque green and feel great. I have lots of abec11 wheels. thats where I go usually for all my stuff. But I have some cambrias and tunnels on some of my restos because of their old shapes.
Speaking of shapes, wouldn't a 60-65mm flashback in a 92a been an awesome reissue of the 2nd and 3rd generation green Krypts.

My comments represent a selfishly one sided 1970's skateboarder mindset, and do not reflect the current fashion-skate-lifestyle industry's views.
