55MM Skateboard Wheels

55mm Skateboard Wheels

55mm is a versatile size that leans slightly towards speed and stability. It carries momentum well through skateparks and transition while remaining capable for street skating, making it a good all round choice for skaters who ride mixed terrain or want a bit more roll.

Wheel feel also comes down to hardness. Harder wheels around 99A to 101A suit smooth park and street surfaces, while softer options grip rough ground better. Pair your wheels with quality trucks, a fresh deck and bearings, or browse the full skateboard wheels range.
