skateboard wheel

Deck's rolling contact

A skateboard wheel is one of four urethane wheels attached to a skateboard's trucks, allowing the board to roll.

Wheels vary in diameter, hardness, and shape—smaller, harder wheels suit street skating and tricks, while larger, softer wheels handle rough surfaces and cruising: I need to replace my skateboard wheels.
