Spitfire Bighead Wheels 51 mm

Spitfire Bighead Wheels in white and blue bring the classic Bighead shape to a compact 51mm / 99a street setup. At 99a you get more grip than a harder wheel and a cleaner slide than a softer pour, so ledges, parks, and slick spots stay controllable. The Bighead profile runs a little wider than a standard Classic, adding stability without jumping to a bulky park wheel. A 16mm contact patch keeps flip tricks quick while the 32.5mm width still plants landings. The hardness holds speed on smoother ground, breaks into a predictable slide when you commit, and keeps enough bite so you do not wash out in transition. Pair that with a small 51mm diameter and you get a light, responsive wheel that stays lively for technical tricks without feeling sketchy on the roll-up. Wheel Shape Explained Bighead is Spitfire’s slightly wider take on the classic medium-profile street wheel. Compared with a skinny Classic, the extra width and rounded lips add control in parks and on landings while the narrow 16mm riding surface keeps the wheel quick for flip tricks and manuals. The shape is symmetrical and centerset, so the ride feels even frontside and backside. At 51mm it sits low for pop and board feel, making it a solid choice for technical street skating and tighter park lines.
