Hey, I am going to be getting a landyachtz evo with bear grizzly trucks, but i am undecided on wheels. 3dm avilas look sick, but I've never ridden them. If they're good what durometer should I get?
Lots of grip. I'm running 85mm Speedvents and I consider these about as large as I would want to go.
I have tried many wheels down to 70mm and they all have something to bring to the table.
If you are a lighter rider or want a softer wheel, the Purple Skunk Avilas are lots of fun.
Ther are many better wheels for drifting (round lipped) etc.
Avillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa's rock for dh, I love em.
They grip when you need them to and slide when you want them too.

Rayne Nemesis--Randal 180--Reds--PurpTangs 70mm
Bombsquad "Hennbeater"
Loaded Dancer Flex 2--Paris 180--Abec 7's--Otangs 75mm
Kebbek JimZ Flushcut--Prandal 35*--Swissies--83mm Flys
Loaded Fish Flex 2--Paris 150--Abec 5's--ZigZags 86a
Loaded Dervish Flex 2
I would suggest the 80a ( or is it 81a?) Avilas. Anything below would be too soft for DH and either slow you down or get chunked easily due to the thin sharp lips.
The oust mood wheels and the new Venom shocker wheels are pretty similar. You may wanna look at those too.
i have used them topmount and the grip was so ridiculous i had to switch
however i reckon they would do well on an evo, and possibly help stop its rear end tendencies

i have 81a 's (the blue ones) and they have tons of grip! but they dont slide too well. theyre super wide so the slide is a little rough and chattery. i like em but i probably wouldnt get another set
Yeah I'm also wondering if i should get avilas, o'tang in heats or retro lime bigzigs. I've ridden big zigs before and i like them. Which would you recommend?

I'd have to recommend against getting Avilas. Their grip is comparable to other wheels but their slide is pretty bad and their a bit slower. I'd go with BigZigs or Otangs if you're looking for a 75mm offset wheel for DH.

Okay so should I get o tangs or big zigs, I own a set of durian freeride o'tangs and love them to death, but i've also ridden zigs and love them to death. Which should I get? I'm also looking at oust mood wheels????
3dm thane is very nice, the wheels shapes are no compromise slalom wheels gripe is the design, if you want slip trimming the lips is easy enough. They are different than zigs better hook up after sliding IMO and it's easier to feel wheel it's going to let go but Zigs are easier to make let go in my opinion

BigZigs are a bit cheaper than Otangs but Otangs slide a bit better. They're both awesome wheels, it's hard to go wrong with either.
