About the original
Spitfire's Formula Four OG Classic Wheels are a 99a durometer hard wheel in a retro cutaway shape, built on the Formula Four urethane compound that Spitfire developed for flatspot resistance and lasting slide control. Spitfire was founded in 1987 by Jim Thiebaud in San Francisco and has hand-poured its urethane in the same city ever since, operating under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella alongside Real, Thunder, Venture, Krooked, and Anti Hero. Formula Four launched in 2013 and has since been the preferred spec for professional street and park skaters. The collab version is sold as a four-wheel set with custom branding on the sidewall and retailed below the standard $38 MSRP.
