Spitfire Wheels Formula Four Ishod Wair Lock In Classic (53mm/99d)

The Spitfire Formula Four Ishod Wair Lock-In Classic (53mm/99d) wheels combine elite performance, custom shaping, and street-tested aesthetics into a wheel that’s as powerful as its namesake. The graphic is loud, clean, and unmistakably Ishod—his name “ISHOD” arches across the top in bold black letters outlined in red, while “SPITFIRE” sits mirrored at the bottom in the same treatment. In the center lies a hypnotic black spiral ringed with fine tread detail, suggesting speed and grip without needing to say a word. The specs are marked in small type along the edge: “53mm” and “99du”, giving riders a quick glance at size and hardness.

What truly sets this wheel apart is the Lock-In Classic shape, custom designed by Ishod Wair himself. It features an asymmetrical profile, with a straight inner sidewall for “lock-in” control during grinds and ledge tricks, and a rounded Classic outer sidewall that provides versatile release on any terrain. At 53mm diameter, with a width of 33mm and a riding surface of 19mm, it offers more surface for stability while maintaining responsive speed—perfect for technical skating with impact.

The wheels are made from Spitfire’s Formula Four Urethane, a high-performance compound praised for its flatspot resistance, lasting speed, smooth slide, and unmatched rebound. The 99a durometer provides just the right mix of grip and slide, ideal for ledges, rails, and smooth concrete.

Spitfire Wheels, established in 1987 and part of the Deluxe Distribution family, has become the gold standard in skate urethane, with graphics and technology that have shaped the culture for decades. From the Bighead icon to their ride-or-die team lineup, Spitfire is a cornerstone of core skateboarding.

Ishod Wair, Thrasher’s 2013 Skater of the Year, has made his name as one of the most consistent and stylish skaters on the planet. Known for effortless switch skating, technical control, and all-terrain dominance, Ishod rides with both power and precision. His hands-on involvement in shaping this wheel makes it a rider-first design—built not for hype, but for performance in the streets. The Lock-In Classic 53mm is a direct result of that philosophy.
