Hey guys, I was curious, is there any way at all possible to clean wheels? I believe they are made out of uetherne.
I have white wheels and my board looks so nasty with these yellow brownish wheels. If anyone knows how to make these wheels white again I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Take the bearings out and throw them in Bleach...

Do you think that will work? I'm considering doing it becuase I dont want to shell out another 15 bucks for some blanks and these are like 48mm, perfect size.

You can't change that yellowish color, it comes with use/age of the wheels...

...Unless you're completely broke then you'll have to steal the wheels off some poor kid's Wal-Mart board.

Unfortunately I am completely broke. Im pretty sure Ill just spray paint them. If it doesn't work It looks like I'm gonna just skate for a few more months with yellow wheels.

It doesnt matter what colour your wheels are really. I would ride pink EVERYTHING if it was a good setup. How it feels, thats what really matters.
Stop posing and just skate.

Then don't skate outside, and don't skate in indoor parks. Linoleum floors are ok, just remember to mop first.

Just wash them with a wet paper towel or something.I don't think it really matters.

spray paint dosent work it wore off fast, the bleach idea was ok but they seemed to get yellow an hour later. its cool to be clean but obsessive compulsive is another story, and as for the pink thing i have pink shoes, pink deck, and pink wheels (i would have had pink trucks but i couldnt find any). now everyone here go buy a FIGHT! deck and some grip tape (free shipping in the U.S. huh huh?)

Turn your wheels inside out.

i tried bleaching a wheel once to test it. it turned it a purpleish color added on to the dirty yellowed color.
just buy blanks, so you dont keep buying expensive wheels every time they get too yellow.
i dont like yellow wheels either.

Sounds pretty stupid. They probably think he's gay or something.

I think colored trucks are stupid. The paint's going to wear off anyway.

um actually, no. in hong kong, girls are attracted to pink things and they think it's cool. therefore, they think his board looks nice instead of thinking he's gay.

Damn, how can you skate 48's? I still fly off my board running into pebbles with my 54's (Or are they 53's, can't remeber. :-9: )
If you're worring about dirt wheels, get black ones...

i agree. those girls need a good slapping. if you ever see what girls in hong kong wear, you'll understand why.
for all of you who don't know where hong kong is, it's part of china, just a chinese place full of chinese people. not an awesome place to be, but not totally crap. the weather does hit 30 - 40 degree celsius sometimes. the humidity can almost drown you too. not fun to skate in.

i guess. most of the security guards are fat women who are too scared to talk to you. but there is the occasional super gay man or woman that has no business to call the cops on you that do just to make themselves feel self righteous. very pissing off. they also like to scream at you when they have no business to or they get really sarcastic at you to piss you off too. its also really humid all the time and that sucks for skating.
today i tried going skating and all of a sudden ther's a thunderstorm. the weather sucks.
