I have said it before, and I'll say it again. If you can buy a set of these from somewhere do so, because they are by far the best wheel I have ever skated. I primarily use them at the skatepark, but they can get me there as well. You can slide, and they will catch when you need to. Contact width is 22mm, and the wheel is symmetrical. Reissue them now Cockroach!!!!

I love the roaches printed on the wheel treads.

Tony Hallam years ago was talking about how he used to get royalty cheques from both companies even when he was touring in the US so yes Cockroach was something over there as well.
Also on the Thrasher site magazine archives you can see Cal Skate Supply & other old shops in their advertising have Cockroach items.
And I also saw a Concrete Jungle Ad from around 87'-88' spruiking Borgy copers with TG in it!!!
