Wheel Sizes

The Slime Balls Screw Balls Speed Balls 56mm 99A wheels are included in this set and are ideal for street and park skating. If replacing with other wheels, the following sizes are compatible with typical 8.0" to 8.5" decks:

• 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
• 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, suitable for most skaters using this wheel size.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with mid or high trucks and risers if needed.
• General Guideline: For 8.0" to 8.5" decks, 50-56mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 56-58mm wheels are better for park or transition skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
