Cored Wheel Toestop
I've seen quite a few people with Cored Wheels as Toestops So I was wondering How you would be able to mount it on the board?
Any Ideas/Suggestions???

Just use a bushing. A wheel core would be huge! Never seen anyone ever use a wheel core.

There have been photos on here, but yeah, unless your feet are size 30 it's pretty excessive. Just run a longer truck bolt and mount a bushing.

I was using a cored wheel as a back footstop for quite a while (now ive added a kicktail instead). What was great was that I could make a quick and easy transition between a tuck into a freeride stance; just fling my foot back and itl jam right into place. The size of the wheel definitely helped with that, and a bushing would have been very different.
As for the front footstop, ive seen it on one other board, and it felt really comfy when tucking on it stationary. Make sure to tighten it down enough, you don't want it rotating while relying on it during a drift or something.
Best to just try it for yourself. Best thing imo is a bearing (preferably seized) to put into the side of the wheel that faces up. Unless your bolt head is abnormally small, it should fit great through the hols of the bearing.
Btw, I found that my wheel kinda shifted position gradually too much since it didn't have enough contact on the bottom, since it was an offset wheel. If its the same with you, then it may be worth sanding down the bottom a bit (i rubber it against my griptape) so that more of the wheel will be touching the board.
Hope this helped.

THe only reason someone would use one is to brag about how they cored a wheels, they're retarded, move you further away from your front trucks and pockets in your board. Need to be all up that ass

It does depend on the board, mine has cutouts so I can't really get my front foot over my front bolts. A cored wheel stuck out more than a bushing, so worked out to be more effective.
