    Default Sector 9 Wheels

    Ok, it's been a long time since I've ridden S9 wheels, about 2 years, but it looks like they've come a long way since then. In skateshops and stuff I always see some pretty decent looking wheels. I remember a few years ago, their wheels were ok, but has anybody ridden them lately? Are they worth buying? What do people think of them?

    Those wheels are very very nice. It's something between a gumball and a Striker and is made with better urethane than previous S9 wheels. S9 has been using that hub extensively on alot of their new wheels I've noticed and a good hub it is.

    My only gripe about those wheels is their limited durometer range: one.

    The newer/updated models are poured in the same factory that pours ABEC11 and 3dm/Seismic wheels.

    I'll second the Goddess of Speed wheels. I've got a set and they are great for crusing. Smooth and grippy.

    Just by a quick glance, it looks like Sector 9 has come a long way with their wheels compared to the ones I have from a few years back. Nice.

    Hard in the middle for speed and rebound, soft around the outside for traction. Kind of like a wheel and tire.

    I find them kind of slippy, even in the soft duros but they wear in to an o.k. all round cruising wheel
