Well alrighty then, I've contacted my local shops and have two dealers that can get me the Arbor. They are both getting back to me with Price and I'll order from the most reasonable.
Sometimes they vary by over 40$!
I'm thinking 169's with Rainskates Tsunami 85a's, would 215's on that deck be weird?
I've also got a pair of 155 Seismics I may try on it too.
Thanks alot,
Rodel |

Perfecto! 215's would look dorky. 149's would be good, too, since the ends of the board are pretty skinny. |

| If you go with the Seismics (better fit than 169's) use a stable turn in back and a quick turn up front. I've tried using quick turns on both front and back on a board that size and it's just too squirrely. Throw on some 1/8" soft risers and you'll be good to go with either 60mm or 65mm wheels. If you go with Indy's than I'd suggest the 149's with a 1/4" soft riser. |

I don't think you can tell crap from the site's pictures... they appear to be comps, not actual boards.
The one I tested had a spoon nose with NO upturn but that was about 3 or 4 years ago. |
