Wheel diameter affects how tightly you can turn and how quickly you can accelerate. Most wheels run from about 50 to 60 millimeters wide, and the lower the number the smaller the wheel. ✔️ Wheels: Wheels break down into two numbers: The diameter (usually in millimeters) and the wheel hardness, often referred to as durometer. The most important thing is to make sure the top of the deck is a rough surface with rough enough grip tape to (you guessed it) be able to grip the board. All decks tend to be pretty durable so unless you plan on absolutely going to town and wailing on your deck, material really comes down to personal preference.
