    Default help! looking for fast soft cruisin' wheels...

    im looking for a set of big (76mm) soft (78a) wheels for cruising and transportation in the city. speed and smoothness are both important, as is not being restricted turning. i also have a (mental) problem with flush cut wheels, a rounded shoulder just makes sense to me.

    ive looked at gumballs, flywheels, and flashbacks, also cherry bombs and gravity fu manchus. i have no clue which wheels will be best for my needs? any help or advice guys?

    i have a set of flywheels and gumballs...the gumballs are a smooth ride and they are very fast. the flywheels are not as smooth, but they carry speed very nicely...i recommend both

    I like myself sum trimmed avilas. I have them in 76a and they are extremely fast and extremely grippy.

    if money is a factor...go for the fu manchus...but if you really want the best wheels out there...go for the gumballs 78a or 74a. ive ridden both those and soft availa...i much perfer the gumballs.

    gumballs are faster, avilas have more cushion, both are pretty effing fast,both grip,avilas grip more, both have great rollout.
