Skateboard wheels come in different sizes and texture meant for different skating purposes. The makeup of the wheels determines how fast and safe a board can go no matter who is riding it. The best skateboard wheels are made with a high-quality unique and durable type of plastic known as Polyurethane. The wheels are turned into different sizes and shapes for different skating preferences with the commonest wheel diameter ranging from 48 to 56 millimetre.

They are meant for speed and only the experienced skateboarders should mount these wheels.<\/p>\n

When purchasing skateboard wheels, the hardness or durometer of the wheel should be a deciding factor for the best skateboard wheels you choose to buy. Harder wheels have a durometer of\u00a099a or 100a. Wheels in this category are prefered choices for most street skaters, while those using longboards and cruisers often mount softer skateboard wheels of 78a to 87a durometer. This is ideal for trick skating and uber smooth rides. The texture of these wheels makes it relatively easy for it to cross large street surface cracks and little pebbles. Medium-hardness wheels in the range of\u00a096a to 99a are ideal for park and ramp skaters.<\/p>\n

Shark wheels are futuristic wheels that have defined what future skaters should roll on. Looking as if its unrollable is the 70mm high-performance shark wheel sidewinder longboard wheels that are simply great for all-around cruising activities. It offers more grip and slide control with its unique sine wave design. The sine wave design provides three lips per wheel for superior lateral grip. When you want to slide, they pathways and recover easily when you are done sliding. To achieve this capability, the width of the wheel was increased while the actual contact patch was decreased.\u00a0 With this unique feature, the wheels give out more speed and quicker ride as the wave pattern design allows for a thin contact patch touching the ground. I particularly find it beneficial that the alternating patterns of the grooves minimize\u00a0hydroplaning by channelling liquid, sand or gravel away from the surface of the wheel.\u00a0 With this, you get a firm contact patch with the ground no matter the terrain.<\/p>\n
