How wide are Orangatang Durians in mm? Does anyone have pictures of them on their boards?

on the wheel sidewall it says that they have a 45mm contact patch. I believe it is just a couple of mm bigger than that IMO.

75mm tall with a Contact patch (width of wheel in contact with ground) of 45mm. These offset wheels are intended for grippy, hard carving and consistent, controlled slides. Double rounded lips, and a stone ground/pre-broken in surface for smooth slides out of the box.

the contact patch is the part that is in contact with the ground, the width is the entire width.

the wheel is shaped like that^ but the contact patch is only counting the straight line on the bottom and not the sides.
