Side of those white wheels are too straight & thick to be Alva Rocks. The Alva's angle inward from the lip.

Anyways, Alva Rock Flatbacks were 2 1/4" wide & 65mm.

Closest today would probably be 65mm Kryptonics, Tunnel Rocks or Rat Bones.

From May 1984 Thrasher. TA appears to be riding white wheels (of course its B&W pics) with no lettering. Click on pic to enlarge.

Could they be kryptonics csi? not sure what year they were available..

thanks for the recommendations on modern wheels. Do you mean Star Tracs (kryptonics)?

Tunnels do have that inward angle...

Did Alva Rock Flatbacks have the inward angle? is there a purpose? i assume its to do with the core?

Tunnels do have that inward angle... YES, BUT THEY HAVE NEAR THE WIDTH, AT 2" WIDE

YES, LESS THAN THE TUNNELS, MORE THAN THE KRYPTONICS. EDGE FLEX VARIES WITH THE DESIGN.

THE WHEELS IN THAT VIDEO LOOK MORE LIKE THESE 80's CITY STREET GRINDERS IN SHAPE:
