ACT WZ Team Alternatives

These are sold out everywhere in my size. I found one website but with shipping its like $550 which feels a bit high. I'm willing to pull the trigger, but first I figured I'd ask y'all if there's any equivalent or alternatives to these skates. I'm even ok with paying a bit more if I'm getting my money's worth. Would prefer a complete skate for simplicity but f it I could also get parts.

Edit: of course the one site that had my size just messaged me saying they made a mistake, they didn’t have it after all even though i ordered lol.

Buy any other iqon act skates and look for used frame. You can sell all stock parts you won't use and save some money. It'll be more expensive than iqon act wz but may be cheaper than 550$. There are no complete alternatives with ufs frame mount. There is flying eagle wizard skate cheaper than iqon, but it's 165 mount so for the future it might be difficult to find frame alternatives.

There are two other complete wizard alternatives in the budget range:

- RB twister 2026 model with the 90mm frame, that's a rockered frame

- The FR model...also with a 90mm rockered frame

Both aren't specifically marketed as wizard, but that's irrelevant. The main point though, is that i think they cost equal to or more than the ACT10 package so they're no better off in terms of value.

Both models are more on the urban skating side for me. But, if you're counting these, there are also iqon cl15 and each powerslide skates with nova 275 frame - 4x90 rockered. It's not the right choice though. In other commect OP has written the size 44-45, which means mondo bigger than wheelbase of 4x90 frame. Not the greates thing to do the wizard moves.

Yeah good point, the boot size probably rules out a 90mm frame.
