Nice wheels, my favorites!
Weird thing about wheels: one of the hubs is TOTALLY out
of round! The urethane isn't, that is round so it doesn't cause
me any grief skating. This set of wheels for one rink in particular;
one very LARGE floor at Xtreme Wheels in Crystal Lake, IL. Love
that floor! With these wheels on that floor, I totally fly. But the
wheels also have enough grip for me to play fancy-pants skating
in the center of the floor doing things like, well, this:

Wow I see quad skating setups has been evolved.
When I was kid , mine looks like toys (yes they were hahaha).

I skated quads for years, then switched over to inline. Inline hurt my knees over time and I had to leave it. I had sold most of my quad parts so to get things going again I designed my own plates that adapt inline speed boots to quad trucks. DA 45 trucks with flips NTS. 3/4" tall cushion sets on long kingpins. The skates can handle 80mm outdoor wheels if needed but I mostly skate indoors on 63s. Takes a lot of time to machine and finish them. But suspension is adjustable to slow down steering if you skate speed.
dand, no edit!!!! Several typos lol
Aha that is why it is looking good. Good metal cutting skills! Any pictures close up of your nice frame?
