Re: Black Wheels??
This is a problem in wheels. All the good wheels are usually white, neon green, yellow, pink, or some other God-awful colors.

80a is PLENTY soft, in fact I'd go so far as to say it's right around the best all-around duro. They are more than soft enough to be very grippy and smooth, but roll faster than a 75a or 77a wheel.

Re: Black Wheels??
I second gravity burners, But also oust mood wheels are black. but if u are in love with a particular wheel that isn't black, just dye it. i have done it and it is extremely easy to do.
there is a thread on this, but:
boil wheels in water
scrape graphics(if u want to take them off)
mix dye (navy blue will also appear black)
boil wheels in dye solution for at least 15min.
remove and let cool
rinse
ready to roll!

you dont HAVE to boil your wheels (ruining a pan) if you have another container you can dump the boiling water in it THEN pour the dye in and soak it in that, you just have to soak it for like 1/2 hour-40 minnets

Disposable tin pans work great for this, though they might not be able to fit big wheels too well. I'm speaking from lacrosse experience, not longboarding experience.

the pan doesn't get ruined from the wheels. they don't melt or leave any sort of residue.
