Spitfire Wheels is a skateboard wheel company that was founded in 1987 in San Francisco, California. The company was created by a group of skaters who were dissatisfied with the quality of the wheels available on the market at the time, so they decided to start producing their own.

Spitfire quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality skateboard wheels that could withstand the demands of aggressive skating. The brand's iconic flame logo became a symbol of quality and performance that is still recognized by skaters all over the world today.

One of the key factors that sets Spitfire Wheels apart from other brands is their use of urethane. The company uses a unique formula that is designed to provide a perfect balance between grip and slide. This formula has been refined over the years and is now used in all of Spitfire's skateboard wheels.
