Ok I went back and searched through the threads but most were very old threads and mostly JB bashing. I am hoping that JB has overcome some of the issues but this post is specificaly about the SUPERNOVA wheels versus DP NOVA.
Most useful I found was the JB wheels are a little stiffer than the NOVAs but I doubt as a newb I could tell the difference.
I have purchsed a set of NOVA wheels from them but it is a 3-4 week lead on the DP wheels. Not really an issue as my new cabber is about the same lead time. They emailed me offering to substitute the SUPERNOVAs (same quality half the price) for immediate shipment. The allure is the half price since lead time is moot.
What are ya'lls opinion of the SUPERNOVA soft wheels?
Thanks, Steven

The supernova work the same as Nova. Those are my soft wheels of choice because of price. I don't know if they last as long as dp since I haven't used dp for a long time and I don't spend a lot more time on hard wheels than soft. I was very hard on the soft 220/280 when I started out. A 220 grit soft was available from DP and JB but I haven't seen a 220 from DP for a while the 220 works like a 280 but cuts faster and can proceed to the 600 like a 280.

I even searched web and other forums for information but didn't find much. For half the price, and your reccomendation I think I will give them a whirl. Thanks, Steven
