Hi guys,

I picked up a set of these when I was in the States in April:

http://www.planetonwheels.com/store/Van ... black.html

(Unfortunately, mine came without the cool oldschool graphics, and are just black with orange aluminium hubs, but still flash as all hell.)

They are quite grippy - I think around 92a, which I like. However, when I bought them I didn't realise how slim they are. They are more narrow than the narrow Jukes/Poisons - maybe more like Heartless wheels or hockey wheels? And I have recently decided that slim wheels don't suit me, so I'm going to sell these sexy bad boys. They have not been skated on.

As they have metal hubs, swapping out bearings will require brute force and/or a bearing press, so I'm thinking of including a brand new set of Bones Reds with them.

I'd recommend people try these first, as they really are narrow, and might not be to everyone's liking. I will be open to offers, but I'm thinking around £40 for the wheels alone or £55 for wheels + brand new Bones Reds. This is a bargain for metal-hubbed wheels!

Yeah, you can definitely try them too - I think it's useful to try different wheels even if you're not currently buying. I only know that I definitely don't like slim wheels after skating on borrowed slim jukes and slim poisons.

And then I was stupid enough to buy slim jukes ANYWAY and still didn't like them, so had to sell them on. Huuur.

Can I be next in line to try these / buy please. Really like the slims, was slightly disappointed that the poison slims were not slimmer.

Absolutely. I'll try to get the bearings in without a press - will you be at training tonight, Smaxon?
