These Skyway Retro-Flange Edition Tuff Wheels feature hand-made and machined alloy flanges with a throwback look to the classic "Alloy 5 Flange" hubs from the early 80's! Just like Eddie Fiola had on his bike back in '81 and now!

These hubs feature precision sealed bearings for years of maintenance-free use that will roll on and on! The wheels themselves are made using the very same wheel mold from the early 80's! You don't get much more "retro" than that!

Skyway's are molded from a proprietary blend of long-strand CARBON FIBER and ZYTEL NYLON. This blend produces a wheel far stiffer than any composite wheel on the market. These wheels put the power to the ground yet take the abuse of hard landings without having to true your spokes after every ride. Strength and stiffness allow higher tire pressures than previous composite wheels. Made with today's better, lighter materials and technology, improving on the legendary Tuff II performance. Identical spoke pattern as the vintage Tuff II's, precision-made.

Features:

• 3/8" Cr-Mo axles. Front axle is slotted to fit pretty much all eras of BMX forks.
• 26tpi thread on both axles.
• Threaded freewheel style. Fits most 16 tooth and larger freewheels. Freewheel NOT included.
• For tires 20" x 1.75" and wider.
• Made in the USA.

We STRONGLY suggest the use of Kool-Stop brand brake pads in colors to match for these wheels.

Now with the WHITE — 9t 14mm Rear / 3/8" Front with the Gold Hubs like Eddie Fiola used to run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Skyway Tuff Wheels 2?
The next generation of the original Skyway Tuff Wheel — the iconic BMX 5-spoke mag wheel from 1979. Tuff Wheels 2 use the same proprietary carbon fiber and Zytel nylon composite, the same vintage spoke pattern, and modern sealed-bearing alloy 5-flange hubs that match the early-80s look.

What's the difference between Tuff Wheels 2 and Graphite Tuff Wheels?
The Graphite Tuff Wheels have gold-anodized hubs (like ALL classic Graphites). The Tuff Wheels 2 have hand-made and machined alloy flanges with the "Alloy 5 Flange" early-80s look. Same wheel mold, same composite — different hub style and color options.

What sizes are available?
20" Race (3/8" front and rear) and 20" Freestyle (9t 14mm Rear with 3/8" Front and Gold Hubs — Eddie Fiola spec). Each size has multiple color combinations.

Will they fit my BMX frame?
Race wheels fit all standard 3/8" dropout BMX frames. The Freestyle 14mm Rear setup fits Torker LP-F, Supercross Passion, Ikonix, and other 14mm-dropout freestyle frames.

What's the connection to Eddie Fiola?
Eddie Fiola — King of the Skateparks — ran Skyway Tuff Wheels in his early career. The 9t 14mm Rear with Gold Hubs is the spec he used. Read the full BMX freestyle history.

Are they made in the USA?
Yes. Made in the USA using the original early-80s wheel mold. Authentic vintage spoke pattern, precision-made.
