OJ Wheels Chris Russell Optic Nightmare Elite Hardline White (56mm/99a)

Designed to obliterate terrain with relentless speed and unwavering control, the OJ Wheels Chris Russell Optic Nightmare Elite Hardline White (56mm/99a) deliver everything you'd expect from a collab between one of the gnarliest transition skaters alive and one of skateboarding’s most respected wheel brands. Featuring eerie, apocalyptic artwork by Francis Caraccioli and a classic white urethane core, these wheels aren’t just a looker—they’re made to handle the punishment of crusty pools, concrete parks, and the gnarliest banks east of the LA River.

At 56mm with a 99a durometer, these wheels strike a balance between high-speed responsiveness and precise control on hard surfaces. The Hardline shape brings a wide 25mm road surface for added grip and stability, while the conical cut profile ensures consistent slides and lock-ins on pool coping and rails. The Elite formula is OJ’s premium urethane, purpose-built to go way too fast, roll longer, and resist flat spots like a champ. This is tech you can feel from your first push to your last grind.

A product of Santa Cruz-based OJ Wheels, a brand synonymous with fast and loose skateboarding since the 1970s, this wheel draws on decades of R&D and heavy street and vert influence. Their Elite line is the pinnacle of speed and resilience, developed in response to the needs of top-tier skaters pushing the envelope. It’s no surprise that Chris “The Muscle” Russell puts his name on these—his raw, all-terrain style has made him a standout in modern bowl skating, and this set is designed for the kind of punishment he dishes out on the daily. Whether you're navigating busted transitions in Highland Park or mobbing down the banks of San Dimas, these wheels won’t back down.
