<p>Wicked. Thanks guys, I'll definitely keep all this in mind. <br/><br/>James-my set-up is in-existent at the moment (at leas the one I'm getting these wheels for anyway). My mate's helping me properly build a custom one. So I'm literally building piece by piece. On that thread, any good (and reasonably priced) truck systems you boys could advise? My style of riding is Slalom, Sliding, and a bit of casual Bombing, but nothing too hardcore. ...</p>

<p>Otang colours just represent hardness, orange, purple, yellow softest to hardest. </p>
<p>Baluts - Fat core, freeride.</p>
<p>Fat Free, Stims, Durian - just names for 65, 70 and 75mm sizes, round lip, stone ground, nice all around wheel.</p>
<p>4prez and Inheat are the same thane but in square lip, meaning they will have more grip, again the names are sizes but there is a difference in the profile.</p>
<p>End of the day they'll all roll and they'll all slide.</p>

<p>Personally I'v ridden yellow stims, purple durians and purple 4prez, and any of these wheels will suit what you're looking for, probably the smaller (70mm) race wheel in purple (83a).

<p>Baluts - Light weight core, mainly icy slide wheel</p>
<p>Fatfrees, Stimulus, Durian are basically the same but just vary in size and contact patch, but are mainly a more buttery free ride wheel<br/><br/></p>
<p>4president and Inheats are more of grip wheels but the 80a have a smooth slide</p>

<p>What setup are you riding because then it's a lot easier to recommend something</p>
