I like the Cadillac 74mm 80a duro.
Seem to grip well and hold speed. I am not light, and I can't slide.
So yeah OK for cruising & carving, and slalom, and ditches.
They also support the local sport, and getting from your local is also good.

Cruising or carving ok. Just remember that they take 10mm spacers not 8mm.

for a cruise/carve wheel they are pretty good. they have made some bigger sizes with wider contact patch and square lips which suits the needs of today's longboarder. If you just want something to roll around on and grip into carve and dont want to spend top dollar its a good idea. if you want a high performance wheel for high speed slides and racing you would go for a better brand, but for the general purpose longboarding theres nothing wrong with owning a set of cadilacs

Cadillacs also go nicely with Holey trucks, and "Elvis" sunglasses!
