Default orangatangs or zigs

i am looking at getting new wheels for my hypercarve and i was told to get either orangatangs or zigs. i just wanted to know which wheels were better for what? im sure this has been done before, but which wheel do you feel is better, and why?

of the two, i'd pick the o'tangs just because the rebound and the ripples are just so helpful pumping. If you're looking for a more all around wheel though the bigzigz are there, but aren't as pumpable. The o'tangs slide great if broken in though. hope that helps!

Wow, the Kool Aid flows.

Dude, what duro are you looking for? Obviously you have more choice in the Zigs. I think if you are just looking for 80a, you would be happy with Limes or O-Tangs.

Anything else and you'd want to look to Zigs because well, O-tangs only come in 80a.

if you're sure this has been done before, why did you make a new thread for it??

as has been said many times before, they're almost exactly the same. get whichever one you like the color of better

In the same amount of time it took you to make this thread, you could have just used the search function.

Yeah, but I think most people who make these threads are looking for reassurance, not any substantial insight.
