Whether you're building a custom skateboard from scratch or replacing the wheels on what you've already got, make sure you complete the job with skateboarding wheels from Skateboard Showroom. Choosing the right wheels for skateboarding depends on what you want to do. Size and hardness definitely matter - in fact, wheels are chosen for their diameter and durometer measurements. Sizewise, they range from 48 mm all the way to 90 mm. If you want to roll faster and cruise over cracks and bumps in the pavement, you'll need larger ones, but if you're looking to keep close to the ground and accelerate easier, smaller ones are better. If you're building a board for tricks like kickflips and ollies, stick with smaller wheels so you can break away easier. Wheels are judged on a durometer hardness scale of very soft to very hard, with manufacturers using different measurement readings. Many skateboarders do well with an all-terrain skateboard wheel type, which gives you a nice balance.
Whatever you need, even longboard skateboard wheels, we've got it in our online catalog - there are hundreds of models available from the most popular manufacturers from Alien Workshop to Zoo York. Prices listed are per skateboarding wheel, and are sold in sets of four or more.
