    Default Help making final choice for wheels on a new Rayne Hustler

    So my main desire is for ultra super extra grippy wheels. I've been juggling the idea of some Pink Powerballs, EW Superballs, but mainly I've been thinking about retro zig zags and big zigs. I'll most likely go for a soft duro but I dont know if the 75mm bigzigs will be too big for the hustler, or if I should just go for the 70mm zigzags. I'll be doing a good bit of down hill alot of cruisin and carvin, a little pedestrian slalom. a buddy said go for the smaller zigzags cause the bigzigs don't fit as nicely on the hustler. I don't know what the advantages of the additional 5mm is but if I can comfortably put bigzigs I think I would

    I went with Lime Bigzigs on my dervish, grippy and when broken in can slide great.
    My Setup:
    Loaded Dervish flex 2 with paris 180s, lime big zigs and reds

    I recommend the Abec11 Grippins in 75-78a. Compared to Avilas and bigzigs/zigzags they gripped noticeably more ( because they're center-set ).

    Another rec for the grippins.
    Very underrated wheel!

    However, with a board such as the hustler that can be prone to wheelbite, my first recommendation would be for a lower duro alligator.
    These wheels are amazing and are the longest lasting wheel's that I've ever owned.
    My set of red 81a's have lasted around 1.5 years, and I'm still shredding with em.
    It's wierd. I standup slide em almost every day. Sure, they're worn...but not too much!
    This is Silverfish, take it with a grain of salt. It's fun to come back to at the end of the day, but nothing beats the real deal. Make your own judgments and form your own opinions. Remember whose lens you're looking through!

    Definitely don't get Powerballs, they're famous for their drift.

    what trucks are you planning to run on the hustler? you will not be able to fit as large wheels if you are running paris. some grippy wheels you should consider: venom shockers, Avilas, grippins, Bigzigs or zigs, 77mm S9 RF, PPS racer x cone crushers etc.

    The grippiest wheels I have ever used are Tunnel Tarantula STRs. Those things hold the road like no other roundish globs of urethane ever have. Nice drift, too.

    Grippins are a nice wheel as well.

    I vote for 70mm 80a zig zags or 70mm ew smokers.

    my brother was running 75mm otang durians on his hustler and it was pretty close to wheelbite/footbite.

    Dude. I rock the Retro BigZigs (75mm) and I have no problems with wheelbite or foot bite. I HIGHLY recommend them mate.
