20 Best Skate Wheels For Street (2023 Updated)

I ordered the 4-pack and very happy I did! The buttons saved my ears from the surgical masks + goggles and when we moved to N95’s the caps have been saving my hair from the straps. They’re well made, fit well and the patterns are adorable.

I’ve had so many compliments and have turned so many of my co-workers onto Dr. Woof because of how cute and functional they are. Will definitely order more. The sizing is accurate. I got the standard size and it fits well but my hair bun is not covered (which I was aware of) – will try the larger size to see if I like my bun covered or not.

SIZE: The 52mm feels like the perfect balance, no wheelbite but large enough to get enough speed. They are pretty thin, which makes them feel lightfooted but they are so thin that my spacers did not fit inside them! HARDNESS: Hard enough to get a bit of slide (great for tricks), but barely soft enough to give a bit of comfort.

Using them with shock pads solves that problem for me. SPEED: These wheels are FAST. I could not imagine that wheels could make such a difference in speed. LOOKS: The color of the material is not as yellow as on the picture, which is a good thing to me.

The Spitfire-circle was not printed exactly in the center, which gives it a bit of a wobbly look when spinning. Turning the wheels inside out solved this for me.

Totally recommended for those who love to slide, and want a harder wheel that lasts a long time. The material is really high quality, they ride a lot smoother than other wheels of comparable hardness, and dirt/debris does not get embedded in the riding surface like on some other wheels.

They also do not appear to wear as quickly as my previous set of wheels. I bomb a lot of hills, and speed check a lot so usually wheels wear out pretty fast for me. They can be a bit slippery the first session or two, but once they\’re broken in they grip a little better.

The slide on these wheels is first class, super easy to break into a powerslide whenever you want and it doesn\’t stick on nose and tail slides. The hype on these is considerable, but totally justified.

I cannot compare them to Bones, yet. But, damn(!) these are the best wheels I\’ve ever ridden. They don\’t flatspot and are very easy to revert and powerslide. It only took me two tries to get my backside 360 reverts on-lock.

I\’m in love. I have Bones STF\’s laying around because my friends convinced me to try them. I don\’t think I\’ll love the Bones STF\’s as much as I love my Spitfires!.

These wheels rip. Very fast, easy to correct by skidding, excellent for slides. The thin contact patch make for an increased response on smooth ground especially.

love the graphic on the wheels. They are tough and feel great when riding and landing tricks. no problem with them.

I love this bones skate park formula with p5 shape it\’s one of my favorite wheels you might need to use a slight bigger truck with this wheels as they are thinner.

Not to soft not to hard perfect balance. Powell Peralta in my opinion makes the best quality skate products. I have been using there product for 35 years and have no complaints.

I use the for cruising and park. Awesome will definitely buy again when I wear these ones out.

This is one of the better skateboard shops that Ive had the pleasure to deal with. I have been into the store, but made an order last week I need to write right now or this morning as described, Awesome people to deal with.

Certainly wont be my last time buying from this mob. Thanks again guys.

I got Spitfire Formula four and Bones stf and spf\’s. The spitfire\’s escell when it comes to powersliding and flat spot resistance. The Spitfire seem just a little bit softer and slidier at the same time.

Bones are harder, they make a harder (clay-like) sound on landings and \bark\ better (bwwwuuuuuhhh!), but they \stick\ more when I want to slide them. Weird right, you\’d expect the hardest wheel to slide best but not so, maybe the formula four\’s secret ingredient is a little wax mixed in there 🙂 If you want to stick (fx on vert / skate-lite) then mayb bones, but for the allround performance go for the spits.

Since I’ve got back into skating a few years ago, I’ve primarily rode OJ’s KeyFrames 87A, with TeamRider 97A’s, in the mix. 97s are a bit harsh for me, yet 87A are a bit slow for the skatepark. I rode my new Nomad 95A’s yesterday.

perfect wheels! Hard, yet not skull-rattling hard. Even rode them in the bowl! 95A is my dream durometer. Nomads are my now and future go-to park and street wheel.

Wheels were great for about 2 months then I had two of them get to the point where my bearings would slide out of the wheel very easily. I’m rolling on the OJ Elite Hardlines right now and haven’t had the same issue.

The Nomads are great for riding in crusty spots though. I would definitely give them another try.

The wheel was great out the box, it made everything easily rideable and smooth. I found out that it’s very unslidable, it sticks to the ground more frequently compared to a spitfire ,but I think that’s the disadvantage of having a soft wheel, it didn’t have a problem doing slides with it, with enough wax that’ll do the job.

Over time of using this wheel it tends to harden more, making it not feel the same when it was out the box.

I love these wheels! I was looking for something to set up my cruiser/park board with that could handle rough streets and still be fast carving the bowl and I found them, these things are fast, I am flying down the bike path and at a decent speed powersliding no problem, cruising over beat up streets and handling cracks with ease.

An all terrain champ, if your looking to set up a versatile cruiser, ditch board, or rough pool and street surfer this is your wheel. I’m flying around the neighborhood getting maximal enjoyment out of the driveways due to these bad boys.

They look classic, skate classic, and make me stoked to take the OJ ethos into the future of core traditional skateboarding.

If you’re looking for a solution for dealing with the slippery, dust-covered skatelite of indoor parks, this wheel is for you. It’s also functions as a handy switch-out commuter wheel that won’t slip-out as much as your 78a Superjuices after a rainy Seattle day.

The 54mm is all you’ll need, as the larger sizes grip a little too well on dry concrete, making stopping difficult. Bottom line: This is a great hack for those situations when you NEED grip on your regular shred sled.

Those looking strictly for cruiser wheels may wish too look elsewhere, however.

Perfect for cruising around town, and banging in the park. Set the up on 159 Indy’s, no risers. I was used to my 101a for hardness, so the step down in softness and less power slide-ness took me a lil bit to get used to.

I like taller wheels, good size.

Favorite wheels of all time great for slides & grinds. I put the rounded side on the outside for slappys & wallrides, the square lock in side is great for locking into grinds. Only complaint is wish the 56mm were available more often.

Best wheel never switching.

Bu far and away the best wheels I’ve ridden. Loved them so much I immediately bought another set. As long as these wheels are around I don’t think I’ll ever ride any others. Thanks nhs and ojs for continuing to make great products.

Everything was exactly what I ordered everything look good nice bright and green I would recommend Merchant

I bought these wheels for my cruiser board and it is a perfect match. Rolls smoothly and quietly over cracks and bumps on the road. Highly recommend them.

very nice bigger than expected but they look nice. makes ridding very quiet and smooth

Wheels are a lighter shade of purple than portages in pic in ad, but worked okay as my board does have a shade of light purple in it.

As described. Arrived early.

Mad wide, soft wheels for cruising the pavement, perfect for cracked sidewalks and bad pavement

Great wheels, great price.

Bra

Bought 2 sets of these. They obviously look great. Rides really smooth, using them on al sorts of terrain. Do note they wear pretty fast. 2-3 days of flat ground tricks and there is slight chip on the inside of the wheels, but nothing hindering the riding experience so far.

So not bad.

I like these wheels. They don’t flat spot easy. You can do great powerslides with them without getting flat spots.

These wheels are sweet. They resurrected my longboard after a decade spent collecting dust. But, the real gem in this transaction is the Staff. I order the wrong size wheels initially. As promptly as this first order came in, we could see that they wouldn’t work (too small).

My son fell in love with the color though and lamented the idea that we’d return them for the wheels I’m reviewing now. Never fear I told my boy. The staff will hold on to these small wheels (original order) for us until you are ready to use them on your own board.

I emailed Brad to ask for this and he replied in the affirmative that they would be happy to take care of my son’s wheels for him until he is ready. With this reply, Francis (my son) was put to ease and allowed the original wheels to return to the mailbox.

The is so much Warehouse. You rock.

Polyurethane is among the best in the world, consistently smooth high-quality long lasting and rarely flat spots. I have been riding Powell Peralta products since 1981 still owns several sets of Powell Peralta wheels and Im stoked to add these to a vintage board in my collection and yes I read them all.

Thank you anonymous day.

Great wheels. My 9 year old son loves these wheels on his old school SC Jeff Kendall board with Indy 159’s. Since I gave him this board his confidence has continued to improve on the half pipe at Vans – Orange Block.

They give him extra grip on a very slippery skatelite surface. He also does better in the Combi bowl due to the extra speed and stability these provide.

Perfect

So far so good! Been riding them for about two weeks, skating about 3-4 times out of the week around parks and street. Been doing some sticky nose slides and tail slides on the park tranny and no flats spots so far! Stoked on these!.

Every concentrate formula wheel from O. J. are worth the feel. Strong, fast, hard, and not flashy. Better wheels to beat up and out beat you with what ever you can throw in either powerslides or hard drops.

Always Indy! The Mason bearings are top! Can’t go wrong with the OJ’s! I stick with the best!
