    Hard to tell from that pic, but the core does look Bravo-esque. Highly unlikely that I'll stock them.

    Based on who had those on display, I'd say those wheels ARE in production. They're on a complete in the Vinaka Girl booth. You could look them up, give Andy a call and tell him what you saw here on the 'fish. I bet he'll fess up to which wheels those are.

    They look cool now, but after a day of riding you'd hardly notice the swirls

    they look an awful lot like Satori Movement wheels, with that "Smokey" thing they have going on ....
    Longboard is not a verb.

    ...they will look good at night with a black light (tubing) set up thingy like all the Saturday kids have attached under their cars. Just attach the tubing underneath your longboard....and then you ride it to the bowling alley with your matching bowling ball.

    I wish everybody bought wheels based on appearance so I didn't have to get to a store before everyone else to buy wheels that actually RIDE well.

    not sure if that was directed at me or at everyone in general, but your post has a bit of an elitist tone.

    personally, i know the difference between generic wheels and performance wheels. assuming the urethane on the unknown wheels and the goo-balls is poured by bravo, it's like the same as getting kryptos. and kryptos have their place. the fact that they look cool is just a plus (like crails), you could just use them for cruising or something.

    around here, you're probably just preaching to the choir.

    Default Wheels

    I have used and sold some goo-balls. There were fine, I liked the 70 mm wheel the best, the smaller ones felt "hard" for thier duro. 'cause of the big core. Not as nice as an abec 11 wheel, but way less money. If you like the colour go for it!
