you'll be lucky to get rid of your S9 at all. i also know nothing about S9's other than they are average boards. so i can't help you out with that. sorry.

simple answer... don't buy from Grombiz. they have done nothing for Australian longboarding and it seems the only thing they are thinking about is making big $ overseas. i don't care whether they have improved on the older truck design (which was shit by the way), I will never buy from them or promote their stuff until they change their ways for the better.

Re the Grombiz, the only ones I've ridden have been the old design from a few years ago, so I don't know too much about the current ones. If they're like the old ones they'll be fun for carving but not too good at fast downhill.

Bombing: big wheels are good, 70 - 85 mm
Carving: medium to big wheels are good: 70 - 75 mm, with square edges.
Sliding: medium wheels are good: 65 - 70 mm, with rounded edges.

So if you want allround wheels I'd go for about 70 mm, probably with square edges, and around 80A.

Oranagatang 4Presidents 80A?
70 mm Zig Zag 80A?
69 mm Seismic Hot Spots 80A?

If you want something more slide-oriented, get the new Loaded or Retro Freeride wheels. They have rounded lips for easy sliding (but therefore have less grip).
