So i got a Cabalerro recently (see my only other thread) and these wheels were on it. I've been told they are Ratbones, but i see no writing on them. Anyone identify them? I was told they were bought new in '87 by the previous owner.
Any help would be great!!

I'd say that they look more like the OG Powell Peralta Crossbones (with just the lettering). Here's some pics for comparison.

Those crossbones look like the best bet so far.
I posted the same question on Silverfishlongboarding, and they're all out to lunch on the ideas....... |

Bah, vintage late 80's / 90's wheels can all be picked up for $26-$32 USD. Old bullets will kick ass all over those BUT...those would be nice and wide for the bowl at RDS. Not collectable just ride em.
FYI: Rat Bone 1's would be different on each side (printed side vs. non printed side). My Powell Street Bones are real similar but not quite as square... |

Crossbones. I actually loved my Crossbones back in the day. They were good wheels.

| I have a pair of Crossbones from about 89 that are like 68mm-97a but they were the ones with the crossbones graphics on one side and bones log on the other. The have a flatter side wall on the ones i have though. |

| Crossbones. They had small white lettering on the inside lip that was pretty easy to wear off. |
