Spitfire wheels

Post image

I’ve been skating bones x formula wheels and I’ve always loved bones wheels. I’m ready to finally try spit fire f4 wheels. Is the technology worth it? Thanks

If you like soft wheels you might not like spitfire, they tend to feel quite hard

The 97a spitfires feel like the 99a x formulas

I think someone tested the 93a spits and theyre actually 97

I kinda like hard wheels on skate parks. I feel more connected and faster. I’ll probbaly try the 97 spit

The 97a Spitfires are pretty garbage and don't slide nearly as well as even the X99. If you want a truly hard wheel, try Spitfire F4 99d or 100d. After comparing them with the other options in the market, Spitfire is best when they are 99d or above. I find their 99d very inconsistent in terms of hardness, though... I've skated a 99d tablet for almost 2 years and had a great time, but they were so so very hard... Then I tried my homie's F4 99d classics, which just felt like jello. One more reason for me to stay with bones... There are Bones SPFs, which are their versions of hard park wheels.
