Wheels

I decided to use wheels I found for $30 off ebay. They are Blank Pro Flywheels that come with ABEC 7 bearing and spacers. What's nice about these wheels other than being cheap is that they are larger than the average longboard wheels. They are 83mm in diameter which allows for more clearance between the pulleys I'll mount to them and the ground. Another good thing is that they already have holes through the center around the bearing hole for mounting a pulley, so I don't have to drill my own holes. Plus they come in different sizes such as 90mm and 97mm. I already have a set of the 97mm ones. Theoretically, the pulleys will fit all the sizes and the larger the wheel I use the faster the board will go.
