very vauge question cuz each wheel is great depending on the route/course/track whatever. wheels have different duro, not everyone weighs the same, also Not all pavement is the same, some wheels react better to different pavement than others.......try them all is all i have to say.

zig zagZ r pretty much the STANDARD for race wheels, and for a good reason because they are some of the best thane around poured with skill and they got 3 sizes and a whole spectrum of duros so once you learn one wheel you know what to expect from the rest...

some wheels are 'oily' and 'plasticky' and some are 'foamy' and 'shitty'
ex for plasticky - zig zags
ex for shitty - otang and monster hawgs.

on race day u want retro
and if you wanna FUCK UP a set of cheap wheels over the next weekend get some red monsters and shred em...

shitty wheels are nice because they like to shred, so it's easy to drift.

retro wheels kind of seem to want to remain 'nice' wheels unless you really lay down a thrashing and show them who's boss, otherwise they cone slow and hookup onto your line after predrifting instead of just sliding to the curb like shitty wheels will do when they are all different sizes and conage
