I dont know much about it all but as far as im aware there is a standard size!

[cwspellowe]

Standard size for wheels is 8mm spindle and 22mm bearing iirc. As long as you have bearings for the wheels that have an 8mm ID they'll go on

Dum I was going to get those wheels and 10mm spacers but i've changed plans, going to colour code the board to the car. Red wheels, white upper, grip tape down the toe edge and same sticker HERE as the windscreen on the estate on the heel edge.

[Dum-Dum]

Ive had a look at longboard trucks and you can get them up to 190mm width which means that axle end to axle end would be almost 260mm!!!

Now bear in mind that your board is probably 180-200mm eide that would be epic stance. Sadly theyer at least £40 a pair.

[Matt]

Meh buy a pair stick one on, sell the other too me, staggered look haha

Exactly what I was thinking




There is an american company selling 200mm wide. Now with a no off set wheel you wouldnt even have to cut the board to fit those.........

Chris I have really old board in the shed the wheels are really wide you can have it if you want it, can bring it to ace

[Dum-Dum]

Jonny mate thanks for the offer. Bring it down and Ill measure the wheels up and see.

[Jonny b]

No probs if you don't want it can go in the bin ha ha at least I can tell her Iam getting rid of stuff from the shed

[Dum-Dum]

TBH depending on how it is and if I want the parts you might find yourself with a stanceboard in the shed.

[mark_airey]

[Dum-Dum]

6 quid is a billy bargain really.

[kingy]

i got one, found it last year. my mate says its not a bad one. ive offered it padge but if he dunt want it, does anyone on here want it? will get a pick up if anyone wants it. dont know if this is good but in our warehouse all you need is one push off and it glides for about 40 meters.

[Dum-Dum]

TBH for this one I only need big wheels. make one for yourself and colour code it to your car

[kingy]

just been up to my warehouse and some theiving bastard has had away with my board.. i know who it is so when i see him im drop a 7 ton trolly jack on his foot. then get my board back. pissed me off cause i wanted to either give it to someone on here or do a project on it. it will be mine nooty:

Yep, gonna get some china spray paint and do the trucks. Hopefully get blue wheels too or maybe white wheels to really colour co-ordinate with my car.

Could even go mad and paint up some springs red and slide them over the long bolts for the authentic coilover look. Actually got some blue vac hose here still too, hmmmmmm

[kingy]

how far ya taking this, love the idea but where does it stop haha.

[Dum-Dum]

Ill go as far as its still cheap.

I was looking at a set of white wheels anyway.
It cant hurt to have some china spray paint.
Ive got loads of other paint to paint bits
Ive got loads of bits of metal and stuff to modify it with too.








This morning I countersunk all the bolt holes to give me a few more mm of ground clearance and it still scrapes with my weight on although will roll with a good kick.

Looks good with the sticker bombing scraped underneath.

[Dum-Dum]

Quick photo from today.

[Connor]

[Dum-Dum]
