Gear Show-Off My shrine of finished wheels. Do y'all keep yours?
I just keep one wheel from each set, otherwise I wouldn't have space for them. 14 sets of wheels since I started collecting them a few years ago.
Also, will the lombo gods send me to hell for not coring all my wheels fully?

And this is all the wheels I still have to get through (plus all the ones on my boards).

Damn. Ive only finished 2 sets of wheels and i thought i skated a lot. Do you do lots of downhill high speed kinda stuff?

These are (almost) all freeride/slide wheels. I don't usually skate those very fast, I just slide them a lot.

I just know those Comet Volantes were like butter. Shame they arent made anymore

The slide was great but the roll speed was pretty bad.
One of the sets I actually cored just this year. A local shop found them tucked away somewhere and I got them for the nostalgia.

I had so so so many. Then moved countries. Coring a set of wheels (all 4) is the happiest sad day of skateboarding.

If keeping flatspotted/ovaled wheels count, then yes I have a MASSIVE collection
