Why skateboard wheel set make a good gift

  • Swapping wheels can change how a board rolls without replacing the whole setup.
  • Worn or flat-spotted wheels are common, so a new set is useful for regular riders.
  • Wheels come in many colours, making it easy to add some personality to a board.

What to look for

  • Check the durometer: softer wheels grip rough ground, harder wheels slide on smooth park surfaces.
  • Compare wheel diameter to the rider's trucks and deck so larger wheels do not rub.
  • Confirm whether bearings are included or need to be bought separately.

Questions people ask

What wheel hardness should I choose?
Wheels around 78a to 87a feel smoother on rough streets and sidewalks, while 95a and up suit smooth skateparks and tricks.
Do new wheels come with bearings?
Many wheel sets do not include bearings. Riders can usually move their existing bearings over if they are still in good shape.
