Powell Peralta Df Nano Rat 52mm 97A Off White Wheels | Set of 4 - Key Questions Answered
Is this a good wheel size for street skating and park sessions?
Yes, 52mm is a strong all-around size for technical street and park use. It stays quick and responsive for flip tricks, ledges, and ramps without feeling bulky under your feet.
How does the 97a durometer feel compared with harder wheels?
It feels firm and controlled, but a touch more forgiving than classic harder park wheels. That makes it easier to keep speed and stay comfortable when the surface gets a little rough.
Would these work well for a first-time buyer choosing between street and park wheels?
Yes, if you want one wheel choice that can handle both, this is a safe middle-ground option. The 52mm size and 97a hardness make it easy to commit to without overthinking your setup.
What should I expect from the DF urethane on rougher pavement?
Expect a faster roll and better speed retention than many basic hard wheels. The DF formula is meant to feel lively while taking the edge off crusty sidewalks and uneven street spots.
How does this compare with softer cruiser-style wheels?
These are much more responsive and trick-friendly than soft cruiser wheels. You give up some rough-surface comfort, but gain sharper control, cleaner slides, and a lighter feel for skating obstacles.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

I am loving this board so far! I reached out to LBUSA to get some help finding the right board for me. They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
