New Rink Rat wheels?

[wickedlite44 0]

I was searching hockey monkey and I came across these, now much info on them. They come in both 608 and 688 hubs. Was wondering what they were comparable to. Hot shots? hornets? or some other new type of wheel they are going to produce. Any ideas?

heres the link to the wheel.

i think that would look sick on a set of white sprung chassis!

They will be on closeout.

I don't even see a durometer listed.... am I missing it?

your right, i dont see it listed, or stated on the wheels either.

Judging by the weight listed for suggested use, these are 72-74A feeling wheels, which means that, if in the case that these are like real Rink Rats, they are 68/74A or 68/76A.

And THockey is right... I don't know if I'd rather get this over the Hot Shot, which is only 6 bucks on inlinewarehouse with free shipping at $75.

Well, the free shipping doesn't really apply that much unless you're planning on getting 13 wheels.

But, IW does have one of the lowest free shipping totals I've seen.

Because all of their other SMU's end up there. $7.99 isnt exactly a great price for a wheel no one knows anything about. You can get most high end wheels for that price. They'd do well at $3.99-5.99.

Why not just order two sets at a time? There's always room for a spare set, or maybe if someone else needs wheels. I usually just get maybe two extra wheels and a t-shirt or something.
