These Thunder Polished 148mm are ideal for anyone skating a 8.12” – 8.38″ wide deck. High trucks are better for turning as the truck can pivot further as the different geometry allows more movement. Larger wheels can be fitted without wheel bite, 53mm to 58mm, as the axle now sits further away from the deck. You can ride looser trucks as the wheels will have more room to move before hitting the deck.

Thunder has been woven into street skateboarding for decades, standing as one of the most reliable and rider-driven truck brands ever built. Born under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella in San Francisco, Thunder emerged in the 1980s just as street skating was exploding and the need for lighter, sharper-turning trucks became undeniable. Where other companies chased beefier geometry and bulk, Thunder leaned into responsiveness, speed, and that signature quick snap that would eventually define an entire style of skating.
Through the ’90s and 2000s, Thunder became a fixture on skaters’ setups from EMB and Pier 7 to every ledge-spot scene that followed, earning its reputation through loyalty rather than loud marketing.
Thunder’s identity has always been tied to that SF street grit: fast, tight, and built for pushing the limits of technical skating.
