These wheels are decent wheels. They are not very good while sliding/drfiting though, they chatter alot. I have found that most wheels slide/drift way better than these. But, these wheels grip very well for 84a.

These are the driftiest wheels I have tried. Definitely driftier then any wheels on the market for donwhill right now.
It really is a shame that they stopped making these wheels in this formula
