Is Madrid putting those out? Looks a LOT like the 74mm Manx mold hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I doubt that it's the Manx mold. These Cadillacs look to be sideset and seem to have a flat back (at least from that pic). The 74 mm Manx are offset and have a small inside lip like the 69's, if I remember correctly. A friend off mine has a set.

The 74mm Manx is a pretty rare wheel. Haven't seen to many sets out there. Not sure they were even sold to the general public, if so probably in really small numbers.

In deed! They still are up for sale! Maybe they recently made it into production...

My friend scored a set a couple of years ago from a slalom pro and it's the only one I've seen. Never seen anyone ride them at the races and I've only seen them on Will Brunson's board in a couple of pics. I think he won the Top Challenge on those a couple of years ago.

Oops! Cat's out of the bag.

Chicken had hella problems with getting his wheels. I suspect it may have been caused when he rejected an entire shipment because the formula was off. Madrid cut the wheels and they ended up being the Skaterbuilt ditch wheels.

Chicken split from Madrid so it would seem that they may be using Manx mold now that he's no longer doing business with them.

Wish I would have snagged some 74's when they were available.
