Do any companies make smaller soft ( real soft 85 -90 a ) wheels ? I want to use them to skate some super rough drains and i'd rather not skate big wheels cos im so used to wheels under 55 mm .Any help would be greatly appreciated

56mm 90a -- excellent wheels, very cushiony

Bones also make some 80a "SoftCore" wheels in smaller sizes 54 and under, but they might be too mushy for actually skating. They were formerly known as "filmer" wheels

Those Powell wheels are great, I run the 58mm versions. Nice smooth ride and not too grippy so you can still slide 'em (with a push).

I normally would stay a mile away from soft wheels but this terrain i want to ride is rough as but i dont want to skate there all the time so i don't want to go up 6mm just for one spot .Nothin wrong with 54mm- you can skate everything with them .Anyway i found some wheels that fit my needs -spitfire bighead softies 54 mm 92 a
