    Default GFH Wheels Blowout

    I know I have not posted a ton on this site but wanted to share an experience I just had after viewing the wheel deal on the silverfish front page:

    I ordered 2 sets of these wheels from GFH for the $15 blowout price. When I ordered I thought the shipping was a little high but did not think anything of it because of the sweet deal on the wheels.

    Literally, like 30 minutes later I got a voicemail on my cell from Garrett at GFH telling me that he noticed the system charger me 2 times for shipping! Not only did he notice this, but is already taking the actions to refund my card for the extra charge. This is not your average customer service.... it is exceptional!

    I will write a review of the wheels but I can already tell you that I am a fan of GFH.
    These wheels have a good history and many guys I have met can vouch for them. I would absolutely recommend anyone on the Fish order these for a great cruising and carving wheel at a crazy price.

    Peace, have fun.

    Interesting and appreciated. I followed that Blowout ad today too and was wondering how these wheels are.

    What about the Chubbies or Fatties? Have you used those?

    Glad we could help out with the shipping reverse. Honestly it bugs when companies charge more for shipping and most do. Customers normally don't realize that they are being over charged. Even if it is a couple $$'s it all adds up.

    The wheels are actually a great wheel. Pweinauch our street team manager uses these wheels all the time and swears by them. And hell for $15 you can't go wrong. These wheels use to be on all our longboards and then we started with the Fatties. We are just trying to re-coop our costs so you know it is a great deal.

    Not sure how long this will last, but we have already shipped out a truckload today, so I know there will be many fishers that will have reviews.

    Ok after spending some time on the phone with the company that builds everything for our site we got it all figured out so you can order as many wheels as you want and the price will be correct the first time.

    So jump on this deal...

    Ohhhh yes.

    First off, these wheels are great. People love the "freeride" stuff now... which I would define as thus:

    Going down a hill and doing stand-ups around turns, on straightaways, and doing other slides too.... and going fast.. .and gripping to the road still....

    These are the wheels for that. The duro is light so you grip, but when they break in it's like butter... not to mention any other company names, but these are the same shape as a very popular wheel brand that just released a wheel made for this type of skating, except these Retros have been out for a long long time... and these only cost 15$ a set.

    Very great wheel, spin fast, slide so so smooth, pretty simple.

    8ftbed

    Chubbies are the performance mini wheels... at 64mm, they are a small wheel designed to fit mini boards specifically. They have a big ol` lip for extra grip, but like any wheel, will slide with speed and breaking in.

    The Fatties are my favorite go fast and slide wheel. I've used them for a push race, for commuting long long distances, and for mostly all of my recent videos in the "Fawless Fridays" series... you can find all of those videos here YouTube - PeterWeinrauch's Channel

    There are also videos on there from way back of the 15$ wheels.

    The price is listed at the normal price and when you go to the checkout and put the code wheeldeal in the price will change.

    why yes, yes it did 4 sets for the price of two and throw a couple of white chubbies in while I'm at it. Shipping kind of knocked the fun out of it but still....

    I couldn't pass up this deal. Nearly bought two. Probably should have. Can't beat that price.

    Thanks for the deal. Given the economy and my own lack of funds, it's great to be able to afford to buy a set of wheels and not spend the next two weeks living on rice and beans. Thank you. You guys rock!
