Powell Peralta Ripper
Best durable wheels for consistent street and park performance.
These wheels are the ultimate compromise for skaters who refuse to choose between street grit and park smoothness. By landing right in the middle of the durometer scale, they sacrifice specialized performance for a reliable, do-it-all ride that looks just as good as it handles.
