Hi, i'm from austria and I've a few questions about Heelys.

I want to have heelys with grind plates, because i liked driving with my inline skates on skate parks some years ago very much. Which shoe would be the best for me? I need them in size 11. (size 45 in austria ? ) Maybe the Rave 9074? Are there any better looking grind plate shoes like Venture, Laser, Vector? ^^

Wheels? which one are the best for heeling into school or skate parks?

Thanks!

Greetz

If your skate park is well maintained, no leaf matter clogging up the ground or pebbles or anything like that, it's easier to do tricks with the Mega wheels, which with grind plates mean the Torch style. Otherwise, get the Evolutions with the Big Deuce wheels. Mega and Big Deuce both take standard skateboard bearings if yours ever wear down.

Unless you really want the lower profile (easier to walk in, better stealth), I can't recommend anything with Fats. Fats wheels are harder to get bearings for and less resistant to bumps and cracks.

They'll fit, yes. Mega and Big Deuce are interchangeable.
