What's the selling point then?
Why shouldn't I just buy some picture wheels?

What's the aluminum in the wheels purpose?
My wheels seem fine without metal...
DDicksta23 Mar 2011
look prety chat, whats with the aluminium on the inside? Also why did you use a kmart skateboard for the display.. The trucks were a give away!
SSausago23 Mar 2011
So, they`re like urethane "tyres" over a aluminium core?

I think you`re claiming legitness a little prematurely..

Why does the supposed park wheel look like it should be the street wheel an vice versa
Ssome Rad old goat23 Mar 2011
Im more concerned that the wheels are tested by stringent engineering meth.

Also I believe it is unAustralian to make wheels out of our national symbol the Kangaroo!

i think i'll pass
MMAN BOOBS23 Mar 2011
are they heavier than necessary? they look like longboard things, your pirate avatar is pretty lame, do you also make plastic trucks? and glass skateboards. maybe they are good i dont know, maybe you shoudl invest in a good designer or at least get in contact with someone who can not make it look like a kids longboard accessory available in any box of cornflakes. /*someone link cornflakes thread*/.

Look like scooter wheels. Also i've seen better websites designed by high school kids. Me no buy
Ggrimwood23 Mar 2011
Love the slogan; what do skateboard wheels want to be when they grow up? Roo Wheels. Genius

Good job dude, keep it up! I do think you need to market them better.

Make a big deal out of the aluminium in the wheel, I think it makes your product unique. Think of reasons why you would purchase these wheels over standard wheels.

Hi johnny. Firstly it's great to see what appears to be an innovative Australian company. Do you think you can elaborate on how these are technically/functionally superior to conventional wheels? Could you also explain how the legit factor is equal to a company who has a long track record of supporting rippers, putting on events and a solid platform of legit videos and advertising.

Tough crowd out there, ha ha.... It's been so long since the Symbyotic thread we're all like blood thirsty Hyena's waiting for the next fresh meat.
JJejenhausen23 Mar 2011
bring back that thread about the guy who said he was running hat extreme games and sold tickets n shit
DDavo 215323 Mar 2011
Oh dear. I think this forum is the wrong place to launch product and websites like that....
FFakes23 Mar 2011
did tis thread get deleted and then reapearded?

anyway, since bones, all wheel companies are obsolete.
CCodyyy23 Mar 2011
flow me a set of the park wheels and i will gladly be the judge of how legit they are.
Ccuntm8noworries23 Mar 2011
flow me a set and i'll piss on them and burn them
Kkrang23 Mar 2011
tough crowd indeed.

but then what is it about australian companies having horrible websites and getting off to poor starts
CCurtis.E.Bear23 Mar 2011
the street wheels look like shit and the park wheels look like street wheels.
Iimgne_23 Mar 2011
I found both sets of bones wheels I've had were not flat spot resistant as stipulated and wore done incredibly quick, but were amazing to ride though, but I found my type of wheel I'm sticking to it
Ssoden oner23 Mar 2011
they look like the wheels youd find on a kmart board
