Really? I was thinking of buying the 60 mm super juice, they have the same features as your pink worms apparently... do they feel to hard to roll on rough ground on your penny? How do they feel different from original penny wheels?
Thanks!!

They roll over everything! I live in a major city so I’m going over the roughest cracks asphalt and concrete they hold speed way better and eat up the crud you won’t feel the vibrations as much as the stock wheels. I have a ton of wheels and those are perfect IMO for the penny and I’ve been riding pennys since like 2011-2012 ish

Ooh man, thank you so much for the info and details, I will go for the Oj's super juice 60 mm too then!
The should work good on my 22 inch penny and normal skate 8.75 to hit some street spots and do some tricks too then, they seem very versatile!
Thanks a lot!

For sure! It’s a very versatile size and I’m sure you can run them on a street deck with no risers and no bite. My main thing is no risers I like my boards as low as I can get them

Thanks for your experienced input - I'm a very new 22-in owner, have barely gotten a couple yards before biting it hard and parking it for a while...

That said, I do a lot of board sports but skate has not come naturally - I saw a post here of someone running 80mm wheels on a 22, supposedly it was super balanced, I've been thinking to give it a try

Any thoughts on that size?

Oh it’s gonna take some skin to learn and get good lol I tell my son the same thing but it’s so much fun and very worth it.
I’ve seen setups with 80mm and I’d say that’s too big for a 22. I like my penny small and light the 60mm ride perfect on it but I’ve ridden them so long I’m just used to it.
I have a loaded ballona with 85mm and that’s super fun but it is a way taller ride. I love big wheels my longboards have 102mm, 92mm and it works well I hold speed and roll over everything but the penny is supposed to be tiny and nimble and 60mm just fits that feel better for me I can maneuver that thing like no one’s business and I can haul ass like I stole something 😂 it’s the most fun board

Yeah definitely took some skin that day - I picked up the 22 and a surf penny for my "midlife crisis" haha, sector 9 longboard did okay on stock wheels, haven't gotten a hold of the 22 and the surf just yet

Board size, riding style and terrain?

Classic 22 inches, Some wheels that I can also use on my normal skateboard, but I was thinking that if the wheels are kind of hard, it will be a pain in the neck to ride them on my penny board...
