Double Duro wheels lead a solid week of deck and wheel discounts

OJ's dual-compound Chubbies drop over 30%, and a handful of decks from Zero, Heroin, and Limosine are worth a closer look right now.

Most of this week's deals are decks, and most of those decks are sitting at a flat 25% off MSRP across a wide spread of brands and widths. That's worth knowing, but it's not the most interesting part of the list. The more compelling finds are the OJ Double Duro Chubbies, which are discounted deeper than anything else here and solve a real problem for a specific kind of skater. Past those, a couple of wide-format decks from Zero and Heroin are priced low enough to make sense if you've been sitting on the fence about sizing up.

Wheels: OJ Double Duro Chubbies 56mm (White Gum) — 34% off

The OJ Double Duro White Gum Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a are down to $39.99 from $60.99, which is the biggest percentage drop on the entire list this week. The construction is the interesting part: OJ builds these with a 99a inner core bonded to a 95a outer layer. What that means in practice is that the harder core gives you rebound and keeps the wheel from feeling sluggish or dead underfoot, while the softer urethane on contact gives you grip and absorbs vibration from rough pavement. At 56mm these also roll over cracks and debris that would rattle a 52 or 53mm wheel into oblivion.

The gum colorway is the only difference between this and the plain white version below, but the gum compound on the contact patch is not cosmetic. Gum urethane formulations tend to grip differently on smooth surfaces than translucent or white pours, so if you're skating a lot of polished concrete or marble ledges you may actually notice a handling difference. These are not a street trick wheel primarily, but for a skater who does a mix of rough urban terrain and wants something that won't punish every commute to the spot, $39.99 is a genuinely good price for what you're getting.

Wheels: OJ Double Duro White Chubbies 56mm — 31% off

The OJ Double Duro White Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a are $39.99 down from $57.99, a 31% drop. Same dual-compound 99a/95a construction as the gum version, same 56mm diameter, different contact-patch colorway. If you don't care about the gum aesthetic and just want the ride characteristics, this saves you an additional $3 over the gum option, which is a minor but real difference when you're buying four wheels.

Worth noting that both Chubbies variants are listed at the same sale price, so the gum version is technically the better value off MSRP since it started $3 higher. Either way, the dual-durometer format is genuinely practical for street skating on imperfect surfaces, and 56mm keeps you rolling fast enough that you're not constantly pumping to maintain speed through rough patches. These are not a competition for the skater who wants a 52mm 101a for smooth plaza skating. They are a strong option for anyone who actually has to navigate real streets.

Deck: Zero Misfits Coffin Glow In The Dark 9.5 — 25% off

The Zero Misfits Coffin Glow In The Dark 9.5 is $68.95 down from $91.93. At 9.5 inches this is a genuinely wide deck, sitting well above the 8.25 to 8.5 range that dominates most of the rest of this week's deals. Zero has been putting out Misfits collabs for years and they tend to move quickly, so the glow-in-the-dark coffin graphic is worth mentioning as more than a gimmick. It's a standout piece even by collaboration graphic standards.

Practically speaking, 9.5 inches suits skaters who are already comfortable on wide boards and want maximum foot space for transition, pool, or just a planted feeling on landings. It is not a deck for someone who primarily skates technical street and needs fast flip response. But if you've been skating 8.75 or 9.0 and want to try pushing wider, the price here ($68.95) is low enough that it's not a painful experiment. Zero's construction has a solid reputation for consistent concave and pop that holds up, so you're not gambling on an unknown.

Deck: Heroin Curb Crusher 10.25 — 25% off

The Heroin Curb Crusher 10.25 drops to $65.95 from $87.93. Ten and a quarter inches is a very specific choice and Heroin named this thing the Curb Crusher for a reason. This is a transition and cruising deck first. The width gives you a platform that feels more like a surfboard underfoot than a street setup, which is exactly what the right skater wants for bowl skating, carving carparks, or just commuting with confidence and control.

Heroin is a UK-based brand with a loyal following in the transition and old-school community, and their wide decks have a reputation for being built around that use case rather than just being oversized street boards. No specs beyond width are listed here, so ride characteristics beyond what the 10.25 width implies are hard to speak to specifically. What is clear is that at $65.95 this is one of the cheaper ways to get into a legitimate wide-format setup from a brand that takes that format seriously. If you already know you want something in this range, the price makes it easy.

Deck: Limosine Jade 8.5 — 25% off

The Limosine Jade Deck 8.5 is $63.95 down from $85.27, and it comes with actual geometry data worth paying attention to. The wheelbase is listed at 14.4 inches on a 32.25 inch length, which puts it on the tighter end of the wheelbase spectrum for an 8.5 deck. A shorter wheelbase makes the board feel snappier and more responsive to weight shifts, which is something you notice in manuals, pivots, and anything requiring quick direction changes.

Limosine is a brand with a strong street skating identity and the Jade is a straightforward 8.5 with geometry that favors technical skating more than the width alone might suggest. If you're comparing this against the several other 8.5 decks on sale this week from Real, Frog, and Girl, the wheelbase spec here gives you actual information to work with rather than just a width number. For a skater who cares about how a board turns and responds rather than just foot space, that detail matters, and $63.95 is a fair price for a deck with known geometry from a brand that has put out consistently good product.
