66 or 70mm zigs...any bigger and you'll probably run into wheelbite

I have all 3 sets and my vote is for the Gumballs. If you like to and are an esperienced drifter / slider then go with the Zigs,although I hear that when you can break the Gumballs loose they are great sliders. Key phrase, "when you can break them loose" I'll sell you either or both sets of Zigs you can't have my Gumballs. Oh by the way I have a bamboo pintail s9 uluwato with gullwing alpines 9.5" and am a 260 lb carver and dh'r starting to push 40 mpgs. Have no spacers and am not suffering wheel bite. Here's the latest, I got my 75mm/80a O-tangs in yesterday. Sorry for now Gumballs but my new O's are the cats meow. Still no wheel bite.
