Default any word on the new 58mm earthwing wheels?

i may need to get some new slide wheels for my deck. the 97a s9 banditos aren't cutting it anymore, they are just bit too sticky for standups and i kind of want to try my deck out a bit lower.

so any word?

I've tried the core-less protos on Jessica's board. They're a bit narrower than the 62s.

I tried jess' as well and they're fun, and maybe even slidier than slide-a's. Don't know when they're being released though.

just ride slide a's and slide them till they're 58mm =)

Pat is right, get some 62mm ones, they will last you longer anyways...I've worn mine down to 58mm in a few weeks.

pretty sure he was being cheeky, as sliding them down won't make it the same as the 58mm's, they'd still be wider.

I'm also interested in these wheels, wasn't today supposed to be the big day?
