Alright the question is which wheels are better . . . 52MM, 53MM, or 54MM? Like what's the difference? I always bought complete boards and am planning to buy new wheels, and stuff so I really don't know what the difference means.

Well smaller are lighter and better for flips tricks and people with low trucks. Bigger wheels go faster are less likley to get flatspots but wheelbite if you have low trucks. I skate 53mm wheels and high trucks it works welll for park and street.

heh...seksiest thing you can put on a skateboard is a set of world industries ejaculators. thing is they ride like garbage from what i hear. so i stick to my 52mm ricta wheels for park skatin' and 50mm autobahn gt/r's up and down the sidestreets for flips and such. the gt/r's are black so they're seksi as hell anyway. ;)

Tell You the truth after you skate for a while wheels dont make much of a difference unless they get old then get new ones....

coin up all skate site sign up and be active... learn new shit every day..NO

i might actually like to try huge ass wheels someday. id hafta get high trucks cus im bustin out some low trucks right now, but i like goin fast when doin tricks and you could fly with wheels like that.

i skate lows without risers
wheelbite isnt a problem, either
i usually dont go down hills, so i dont experience any extreme speed wobble that would kill me
so its good for maintaining speed, especially useful when you want to set your feet up early before stairs or gaps
i guess its a confidence booster, too. not having to deal with the smaller rocks and cracks
takes a little getting used to for really high ollies and stuff, seeing as the board raises a significant amount
but after a ittle adjustment, i got right back to my usual ollie madness

do you people realize how big a millimeter is? thats pretty much the thickness of a hair. the question should be 52mm, 60mm or 65mm or mabey even more of a difference.
