Default Downhill wheels
Ok, I want something thats fast and will last awhile. I want it to drift controllably and grip when it needs to. I'm thinking about the seismic speed vents, but input on other wheels is appreciated and wanted. So in your eyes, whats the best downhill wheel?

notice I didn't say they were the best just that they are the most popular...I roll on Avila's, Hotspots and Superballs personally and prefer the feel

76mm 75a flys. Grip when you want them to, and slide when you want them to because of there shape. A better choice for what you want than big zigs.
