Yeah, sounds sensible! Or just seel them or swap them. 54/55 is the way to go these days. You can slide down benches with them and not get your wheels caught, ride roughy terrain and not hook up and seriously get speed. big is good!

if your super strapped, get a industrial strength exacto blades. put your wheel on something that spins, and heat it up with a blowtorch, and shave them. this is bad cause its a hard thing to do right.

55.5 isnt that big these days. its almost like the perfect sized wheel for anything.

dont power slide, that will just make them flat in one spot and then it sounds like you are riding on square wheels.
Its really annoying.

its only gonna make it square if you power slid on the exact same spot like 500 times.
