About the original
Spitfire Chargers 80HD Conical Cruiser Wheels are a 56mm soft skateboard wheel molded from the company's 80HD urethane — a proprietary high-density speed urethane formulated to eliminate the wheel flex common in other 80-durometer soft wheels. The conical profile narrows the contact patch for quicker response, while the soft compound grips rough pavement and absorbs vibration. Each wheel is mechanically bonded to a lightweight inner core for true bearing seating. Spitfire Wheels was founded in San Francisco in 1987 by Skate One and Deluxe Distribution, and has produced its urethane continuously in the United States since. The Supreme SS2018 collab uses the stock 80HD Conical shape with custom co-branded graphics printed on the hubs.
