What Are R1 and R2 Wheels?
R1 Wheels
These have a bowl-style shape with a conical front face
R2 Wheels
These go for that flat-faced, classic street wheel feel.
Both shapes are precision-crafted and ride beautifully—it’s really just about which vibe you want on your setup.
Size Guide: 7.4mm vs. 8.1mm
Here’s where things get spicy. The biggest difference between the two sizes isn’t just aesthetic—it’s how your board pops.
7.4mm wheels keep your setup lower to the ground. That means a flatter angle when you pop, giving you more stability and control for technical tricks. Great if you’re into more realistic tricks and a tighter feel.
8.1mm wheels raise your deck just a touch. That extra height gives your board a steeper pop and more room for scoop and flick.
Visually, 7.4s look sleek and tight. 8.1s look beefier. Both are sick—it just depends on what your prefer.
So, Which Should You Get?
Here’s the TLDR:
Go R1 if you want a conical look.
Go R2 if you want a classic street wheel.
Choose 7.4mm for a low, stable setup with flatter pop.
Choose 8.1mm for a taller setup with steeper, snappier pop.
