I have onle about 20 wheels right now that are all brand new but they are just the prototypes. The prive is a lot more for a set from the prototypes then from buying from the stores when the rest are ready. Daddiesboardshop.com will soon be selling them.

Momo's, from what Chris C. has said, require a specific type of set up truck and deck wise to work properly, which is one of the reasons they were never released to the public.

It would seem being side set, these wheels would be a bit easier to mate with common truck/deck set ups.

Just an opinion. I'd like to see these crazy wide wheels in person!

I desined the wheels so that they would fit on any truck, and with the off set that they have you wont get wheel bite. Unlike momos

It is made by goturethane.com who I hired to make them for Big80 and he is the maker of oj wheels in the 70's and he makes the $50.00 bushings that they sell for radikal trucks on sk8kings website.

Hey Big80 I'm deffently instrested on a set of you're wheels, I always like big wheels for DH but I have not found one that has all the right stuff. Flys way to drifty, big vents, the chatter when they loose grip and the hook up is not smooth. How is the drift and hook up with the monsters

It depends on what derometer you get. You can drift with like 82a or 81a or you can have a lot of grip.

Is there somewhere where a couple of us can buy these to test them out and give our own personal review on them? if you have 5 proto sets why not sell 3 sets to some of us to test for you?

I would do it.

Wheels are super fat, look nice. At first I though you were just showing off some O'Tangs but they look good.

somebody tell me when the next race is in California, and I will have the wheels there. I dont have 5 sets anymore because I sent 2 sets to shops and 1 set for myself so I have 2 sets left but soon there will be plenty.

Hmm. The next official IGSA race is at San Dimas Bonelli. Im not sure of the exact date but its within the next couple months or so.

But there are slews of Outlaws happeneing all the time. The Cali Outlaw series jsut ended, but many of the guys that were in it are holding their own outlaws in their home towns.

Cali doesnt really have any more sanctioned races. Noone wants to put money down for them.

This deck looks nice and all.
1 question though, Why would you cut in on the Rogers Bros business with essentially the same product?
You deck is a half inch smaller at the top and uses one less bolt on the ends, other than that its the same product. It would have been better if you added some useful mod to their already great design and came on here. Just my opinion.

Your wheels look great. Hope they hold together.
