how much r u selling a set for?

I am not sure on the price have to run a few and see how long they take but i am thinking for 2 8" with any design and bearing and clip probably around 170 and the i am going to get some anodized black with machined corners but those will just be whatever the price of the anodizing was add to them.

Tell me what your favorite design is so i can gauge how many i should make

If you get the anadizing done at anderson in st albert they can do a bunch of different colours. Are you going to have rubber coating on the wheels?

I like the directional ones but are you going to be selling them as a true directional????? left and right side?

the directional ones will only be sold in a set left and right so you dont get stuck with one going backwards. And i am going over to the anadizers today to see the colours and what all i can do going to do some black blue and orange ones to start.
