Skateboard wheels are one of the most important aspects of a skateboard, they allow the skater to ride on ramps and concrete. Skateboard wheels are typically made from high-quality urethane and come in a huge assortment of sizes, shapes, and formulas, designed for many different types of skateboarding. What skateboard wheels should I use? Most street and ramp skaters prefer wheels ranging from 50mm to 60mm, while longboarders generally prefer much larger wheels, ranging in size from 60mm to 70mm and up. Durometer is hardness, but which hardness tester should I buy? When choosing a wheel, hardness or durometer is also of great importance. Most street skaters prefer a harder wheel (around 99A or 100A durometer), while park and ramp skaters generally like medium hardness skate wheels, ranging from 96A to 99A. For those who ride longboards and cruisers, a significantly softer skateboard wheel (ranging from 78A up to 87A durometer) is preferred for a smooth ride, making it easier to roll over large cracks and pebbles found in the riding surface and having a better grip on the ground. All skateboards require four wheels, although two bearings inside each wheel are also needed to keep things rolling (which is why bearings are typically sold in sets of eight).
