    wheels are wheels, a noob wont notice a difference right away. get anything you want and enjoy the ride.

    this.

    if any of the wheels are slightly cheaper, get the set up with those.

    haha thanks for the tips guys, does colour make a difference? or you just chose orange bc you like orange......? hahaha

    i can get

    4 pres
    in heats
    durian
    fat free
    stimulus
    and gumballs

    any major difference between them?

    i know anyone is good.......since i am a noob, but they are all the same price..... sooo i might as well get some insight.....

    soo i will be using this board for pretty much cruising around the neighbourhood, and learning/perfecting my dancing skills haha

    and i want to get into powersliding when i am comfy riding switch

    in other words, the purple wheels are slightly harder than the orange ones.

    purples are slightly harder and driftier than oranges.

    both are sick.

    yellow will be really drifty and slidy

    Get whichever you like, because right now you don't know what you like!

    In my opinion it'd be better to go to one end of the spectrum (Orange or Yellow), so you can find out what you (might not) like.

    IMO, though - grip is better to start with.

    THE BEST BEGINNER OTANG WHEELS ARE FLASHBACKS.

    I'd probably recommend going with any of the purps. They'll grip at first and you won't break them in for a while, then when you get comfortable carving and pushing the wheels to the limits of grip they'll be ready to slide and do it well.

    i would agree aside from the fact that flashies are ABEC11. but yes they are amazing wheels. grip great for a beginner and also awesome for sliding once youve progressed a bit
