Spitfire Sapphires Wheels
Best smooth cruising wheels for skaters on rough urban streets.
These wheels solve the classic skater’s dilemma by blending a plush, shock-absorbing ride with the snappy responsiveness of a harder urethane. You get the comfort needed for rougher pavement without sacrificing the slide control required for technical tricks. It is the rare hybrid that actually feels like the best of both worlds.
