on 11/27/2009 Water does not turn wheels yellow. Non-dyed urethane turns yellow from air and time. It does not affect the performance of the wheel. Non-dyed wheels are faster than dyed wheels. Look it up.

"There's a few rules when carrying your board first of when your getting new wheels don't roll through water it's bad for the barrings and it's really bad for the wheels. The wheels start to turn yellow it's usually from water discoloration and with your barrings if yo look close there's these little shields on them, don't take them off its bad it'll expose the ball barrings and it'll get dirt all in there it's not a fine ideal. Also your trucks this is kind of bad mine are so loose they shouldn't be loose the bolts and nuts should always be really really tight, or else your axle could break. Don't get water on your grey tape or on your board it'll all, it'll just totally water log your board and ruin it, and just have fun basically."
