56MM Skateboard Wheels

56mm Skateboard Wheels

56mm is a favourite for park and transition skating. The larger size carries more speed and rolls better through ramps, bowls and over rougher park surfaces, helping you maintain momentum through lines. It is a great step up if you spend more time skating transition than technical street.

Wheel feel also comes down to hardness. Harder wheels around 99A to 101A suit smooth park surfaces with more slide, 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.
