Roller Skate Wheels for Every Style and Surface
When it comes to choosing your roller skates, we think the wheels should be an extension of your personality. If you’re into retro designs, vibrant colours or just want to keep it classic, at Slick Willie’s we stock some of the best roller skate wheels around.
But before you buy your wheels, there are a few things you might want to consider - like size. Generally, larger quad skate wheels around 62-65mm let your skates glide a little faster and are great for outdoor skating. If you're after more balance or control, smaller wheels are ideal as they keep you closer to the ground for a stable ride.
When it comes to roller skate wheels, it’s also important to consider the hardness. Softer wheels are great for smooth ground, rinks, and indoor parks, while harder wheels are designed to handle rougher street surfaces. The kind of terrain you skate on will often determine what works best for you.
Wheel hardness is measured using the letter ‘a. Typically, wheels under 78a are softer, while those over 78a are harder. Most skaters like to experiment with a few types to find their perfect ride - and with our wide range of quad skate wheels, we make that easy.
Pair your new wheels with our best-selling roller skate bearings for a smoother roll, and make sure everything’s locked in place with our reliable skateboard bolts.
