The Best Inline Skate Wheels
Inline skate wheels have 2 key areas to take note of, the size and the hardness of the urethane. As a general guide the bigger the wheel (shown in MM), the faster the skater will be able to go. Bigger inline skate wheels (80mm upwards) tend to be used by advanced inline skaters, free skaters and speed skaters. Wheel hardness is measured with a letter A afterwards. Softer wheels (below 82A) give more grip and a smoother ride, making them comfortable on rougher outdoor surfaces. Harder wheels (84A and above) roll faster and last longer, and are ideal for smooth surfaces, skateparks and sliding. We stock a large range of inline skate wheels from all the best companies around, including Rollerblade (with their Hydrogen range), Powerslide, FR, Undercover and Hyper.
Inline Skate Wheel Sizes
Most recreational and fitness skates use wheels between 72mm and 80mm, and 80mm is the most popular size we sell. If you're replacing worn wheels, the easiest option is to match the size already on your skates. Here's a quick guide to what each size is best for:
72mm and 76mm Inline Skate Wheels
Smaller wheels are lighter and more manoeuvrable, so they're a great choice for beginners, kids' skates and tricks. 76mm wheels are also popular for rockering a freestyle setup.
80mm and 84mm Inline Skate Wheels
The all-rounder sizes. 80mm inline skate wheels suit most recreational, fitness and freestyle skates, while 84mm wheels add a little extra speed for urban skating.
90mm, 100mm, 110mm and 125mm Inline Skate Wheels
Big wheels roll faster and smoother over cracks and rough ground, so they're ideal for urban skating, fitness, commuting and speed skating. They're usually used on 3 wheel frames. Always check the maximum wheel size your frame can take before upgrading.
Choosing the Right Wheel Hardness
85A is the most popular hardness for inline skate wheels, and the one we stock the most of. It's a great all-rounder that balances grip, speed and durability on most surfaces. Softer wheels, around 80A to 82A, are more comfortable on rough tarmac and soak up vibration, while harder wheels, 86A to 90A, are better suited to smooth floors, skateparks and aggressive skating. For wet days, wet weather wheels like the Powerslide Torrent give extra grip on damp ground.
Rollerblade Wheels and Other Top Brands
Looking for replacement Rollerblade wheels? We stock the Rollerblade Hydrogen range in 84mm and 100mm, plus Rollerblade wheel and bearing packs, which fit most Rollerblade skates. You'll also find wheels for rollerblades from Powerslide, FR, Undercover, Ground Control and Hyper, so whatever brand of skate you ride, we'll have wheels to fit.
Light Up Inline Skate Wheels
Want to stand out on your next session? Our Luminous light up wheels come in loads of colours, from glow and glitter finishes to galaxy and night sky designs. They're available in 4 packs and as single 110mm wheels, and they light up as you skate, with no batteries needed.
Inline Skate Wheels with Bearings
Often called rubber skate wheels, inline skate wheels are actually made from polyurethane, which gives them their grip and bounce. Most wheels are sold without bearings, so you can reuse the bearings from your old wheels. If you'd rather replace everything at once, look out for packs that come with bearings included, or pick up a fresh set of inline skate bearings. Remember that most packs contain enough wheels for one skate, so you'll need two packs to do both skates unless the pack is a set of 8.
Skating in the park? Take a look at our aggressive wheels, which are smaller and harder for grinds and tricks.
