Gold Skateboard Wheels - UK Store

Founded in 1999 by pro skater Stevie Williams and marketing executive Eli Soto, Gold Wheels appeal to a spectrum of skaters - from newbies to amateurs, to professionals and underground riders, to the most prominent and biggest names in hip hop.

When talking about Gold Wheels, it is often synonymous with DGK since the latter is considered to be built upon the skateboard wheels brand. Both are part of the Kayo Corp. which houses and distributes other renowned skate brands namely Expedition and Organika.

The founders joined forces with Troy Morgan in forming Kayo Corp. around 2003 in order to distribute the skate brands they owned. The promotional video in 2004 was to introduce the distribution company, but it was in 2006 when they released "It's Official" promo video to introduce the four brands they carry.

Other videos they have released specifically for Gold Wheels are Gold Goons, Got Gold and various short clips of the brand's team riders (then and now) including Josh Kalis, Ryan Gallant, J.B. Gillet, Marcus McBride, Spencer Fujimoto, Rodrigo TX, Matt Miller, Brandon Biebel, Forrest Kirby, Lee Smith, Lenny Rivas, Jack Curtin, and some of their buddies. You can find these videos easily on their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The brand's design aesthetics, advertisements and team riders represent and pay homage to the "hood" lifestyle. Their signature and standard wheels, t-shirts, socks, and other skate essentials are designed with original artwork that is witty, easily recognisable and cartoon-driven.
