which wheels do you prefer?

im looking into a new set of wheels for my kebbek flushcut. Im hoping for something nice and drifty with a smooth slide for "freeriding" yet still grippy enough for me to control. decent roll speed wouldnt be good too. ive been looking at the following wheels and id like some opinions.

the new Gravity Hi Grade wheels 76mm

Landyachtz Hawgs 76mm (Round lipped, suggest a duro)

Otangs In heat(suggest a duro)

any other suggestions are welcome. all feedback is appreciated.

Orangabangers, 83a. Nothing better at the moment. No choice to make.

S9 goddess wheels are pretty sweet. decently grippy, slide smooth, but wear pretty quick.

how does the slide and drift of hawgs compare to roundlipped s9 RF's?

the hawgz are way better for sliding, since they have rounded lips on either side. the s9 race forumlas will take some getting used to before they can slide without chattering over the gound but they wear away pretty quick. the one thing ive found about the hawgz is they take a lot of wearing in before they start to cone. i had a set of 76mm hawgs and slid them heaps and they got down to about 70mm before they started to 'cone'

Ay Leeso, are you talking about the Krypto shaped hawgs? 85mm?
yeah mate the rounded edges are the go for slidding..i prefer the 76mm but thats just me,either of them wont let you down.
