About Spitfire

Spitfire Wheels builds the most respected skateboard wheels in the world from their San Francisco headquarters. Founded in 1987 by Jim Thiebaud, Spitfire revolutionized skateboard wheels with their proprietary urethane formulas, particularly the legendary Formula Four compound that delivers unmatched durability and consistent performance. Every wheel is hand-poured in San Francisco using techniques perfected over three decades.

Formula Four urethane is what separates Spitfire skateboard wheels from everything else. The compound resists flat spots, maintains shape longer, and provides the perfect balance of speed and grip that pros demand. Beyond skateboard wheels, Spitfire's lineup includes precision skateboard bearings, essential skateboard accessories, and a full range of apparel from T-shirts and sweatshirts to hats and shoes. The brand's connection to Real Skateboards through co-founder Jim Thiebaud gives them deep roots in authentic skateboarding culture.
