When I started making wheels about 4 years ago, I set out to create something unique: outstanding in that it would « stand out » against all other wheel choices, thus being easily recognizable, as well as outstanding in the sense of being excellently crafted.
I continue to believe that the individuality and attention to the detail that characterize my creation touch upon the very essence, or substance, of fingerboarding, thus our brand name.
Since the first transparent, core- and bearing-less wheels we made, many different shapes, materials and concepts have been offered through the Substance brand.
Today I am proud to present the apex of this long development.

An ongoing quest for perfection

Our previous line of wheels was the first to take into account the recent evolution in terms of trucks. With the advent of Ytrucks and BRR-trucks, new challenges and opportunities were born, and we could finally rely on supporting hardware as precisely crafted as our own wheels.
I took the experiences we gained throughout the last year concerning the new wheel designs into account in order to come up with the best all-round wheels possible.
As a blueprint, I chose the highly successful limited edition « THC » wheels, and made only some small adaptations in order to further improve the looks and feeling of the wheels.

THCa & THCb

There are now two variants of improved THC wheels available :
- THCa in the typical neon-green material
- THCb in a slightly softer, pitch-black material

What you get :
- perfectly concentrical (round) wheels, each one made by specialists on a high-precision lathe
- a unique, signature material, inbetween rubber and plastic
- compatibility with all major types of trucks
- the best possible experience on BRR trucks
- a centralized precision bearing lodged within our unique vortex autolock-design
- the most durable wheel design ever
- easily replaceable parts (both for the bearing and the outer wheel)
In one sentence : the fruit of 4 years of accumulated passion, dedication and progress.
