I always get 54s, although you can get some wheelbite if you take sharp turns.

Get 53mm wheels
haha yeah. just split the difference. but seriously: they are pretty much the same. go find a ruler and look at how big 2 mm is. its a really small difference and i doubt that most people would be able to tell the difference when skating. just get whatever wheels match your board.

i agree...2mm is not noticable at all...wheelbite is NOT gonna be an issue unless you go over 60mm or so
that said, i LOVE 83mm wheels on my longboards (chicks dig big wheels)

52 is a standard size. i generally skate 52. 54 will be more thinner at first, and 52 will just be normal. 53 will also be thinner. 51 and 50 will be small and thin. it seems like all 52 wheels aren't thin like the other sizes. personally i don't care but it's up to you.

your kidding me right? a 52mm wheel and 54mm is going to be a very noticeable difference.
