The Sector 9 ”Butterballs” wheel is a white 80a durometer centerset freeride wheel featuring Sector 9′s Slide Formula and is available in two sizes—both 65 and 70mm.
The Testing:
In order to test the Sector 9’s Butterballs we hit some of our favorite local back roads and alleyways.
Results/Findings:
Pros:
The Butterballs have a good amount of grip when carving and create nice thick thane lines when sliding. We really like the two different size options, which allows them to be used on boards of all sizes.
Cons:
These wheels slide great, but they are not the longest lasting wheel on the market.
Overall: The butterballs are a great option for the skater looking for a performance slide wheel that leaves a lot of thane. That said, serious thane lines equal serious wear. We definitely love the different sizing options available on the Butterballs and we suggest this wheel to any skater interested in smooth, long slides.

I had one of my 65mm butterballs chunk on the outer lip. S9 was kind enough to hook me up with another set. It’s nice to see that they back their product. Oh yeah, I really like butterballs.
Hell yeah dude! Stoked you got that sorted. Stay rad.
Man I love the#e wheels. I’ve had Em for about 7 months and they still ride like a dream. Colemans are fun as hell om these babies
Stoked to hear that. Stay buttery!
