Abec11 Retro ZigZags Longboard Wheels Lemon 66mm 83a SET OF 2

Earthwing 66mm 83a Road Rage Wheels - Set of 4

Obviously they're the same height and duro but are there any huge differences in these 2 wheels. I don't know what the lip and hub position is on the RR's so I suppose that could make a big difference.

btw I'm looking to get these wheels for a new superglider (with indy 169 hybrids) and I know everyone recommends the RR's for it but I'm just not totally crazy about the white

side question: both wheels are pretty when you first get them but how do they look after a few months of riding, tarn stains, etc? sorry for caring about the aesthetics, i know its ultimately not important...

Both wheels will look like #### after some skating.... Zigs have a fast grippy urethane , Road Rages have fast slippy urethane... Pick your poison.

Road Rages because Earthwing is best.

Good luck on choosing! I've been skating Lime Zigs for a while now. My buddy rides Lemons and loves them. I think my next wheel will be the EW's. Zigs (at least mine) shave off a lot of speed, and I'm interested in the Road Rages.
