Skateboard wheels - choosing the right durometer and sizeSkateboard wheels come in many different sizes and hardnesses and even more colors and designs. All our skate wheels are made of polyurethane, which provides you with great durability and grip.The wheel durometer and size are the two main factors you should pay attention to when buying new wheels for your skateboard.Wheel size: The size of the wheel is measured in diameter and affects speed and control. Bigger skateboard wheels are typically faster but less maneuverable while smaller skateboard wheels tend to be easier to maneuver but are not as fast.Wheel durometer: The hardness of the wheel is indicated by a numerical rating and the letter A. The durometer affects the durability, road grip and shock absorption of the wheels. The higher the rating, the harder the wheels.If you have doubts about how to choose the right wheels for your skateboard, do not hesitate to. Skateboard wheel hardness and riding styleSkateboard wheels are all about personal preferences, but there are a few rules of thumb.

Soft skateboard wheels - cruisingSofter wheels will give you a smoother ride and you won't be feeling every pebble on the road. That is why softer wheels are preferred by those who are into cruising.

PRODUCT PERFORMANCEMany skaters assume the performance and quality of skate wheels are all the same. A wheel is a wheel is a wheel, they might often say. That's actually not the case.
In fact, very large differences exist between the raw materials, manufacturing process, quality control and performance of different wheel brands. Up until now though, a wheel's reputation has been a combination of market hype, market muscle, skater support and word of mouth.
