    Default Looking for a high-speed carving wheel.

    I'm looking for some really grippy wheels that are very durable and resist chunking, but can also attain high speeds? I also prefer lower mm wheels like in the 60mm-65mm range. Any ideas?

    ZigZags/SickSicks, Manx, Cambrias, Hotspots, are all pretty grippy but I wouldn't say they resist chunking though.

    66 lime zigzags sound like what you're looking for.

    I totally agree about the ZigZags but also don't overlook Cambrias if you like small wheels, they're fast as hell.

    cambrias are fast as hell(as said above) but id watch out if you get them because after 4 months of riding the lip is completely chunked out and i have retired them.but up until then they were the best wheels i have ever ridden

    most boobs are good in their own way.

    tight trucks are like little boobs, which are fine if youre into them, but too small of boob and you end up with non turning trucks, loose trucks save lives thing.

    loose trucks are like big boobs, great as long as you have enough rebound in your bushing/firmness in the boob.

    and trucks with worn out broken down bushings are like grandma boobs/fried eggs hangin on a nail situation which is never good.
