If you’re into longboarding, you know choosing the best longboard wheels is one of the most important things to consider when putting a longboard together.
The size, durability, and motion of a wheel are extremely important when it comes to choosing the right wheel.
They are larger and softer rollers than those of traditional skateboards, because, well, they are larger than traditional skateboards, and longboarding is all about a smooth ride. The bad thing about them being larger is, they are susceptible to wheel bite.
Choosing the best rollers for your specific riding preferences, terrain, and desires goes a long way to making your longboarding experience a fun one. Let’s take a look at four different brands of wheels and how they can help you have a great ride.
75mm Orangatang In Heat LW
These rollers are a great multipurpose wheel, and the choice of a lot of downhillers.
They are made of very high grade urethane, which allows them to rebound better when going over rough terrain, or landing a trick. It also helps that you can anticipate what’s about to happen when sliding or drifting.
They are fast, and allow you to move over cracks in pavement easier. They come in orange, purple, or yellow, and cost around $50 for the set.

ABEC 11 Flywheel Green LW
They aren’t nearly as multipurpose as the Orangatang In Heat Wheels, the ABEC 11 Flywheels are made for experiences downhillers who like high velocity and speed, and drift through turns easily.
A beginner would need more traction, so a wheel like this isn’t going to do the trick. They have round edges designed specifically for the rollers to go on their sides through corners. They come in green, and run around $60 for the set.

Cult LW
They are made for cruising and freeriding, and while they can pick up nice speeds, they aren’t nearly the fast rollers the ABEC 11 Flywheels are.
They grip the pavement very well, so they may be a decent wheel for a beginner, but they also hold good speeds through long, straight stretches.
They say they provide one of the smoothest rides on the market (after some breaking in), so if a relaxed ride with good traction and control is your goal, these may be they for you. They run around $55 for the set and come in orange.

62mm Earthwing Superballs LW
Not for the faint of heart, nor for a beginner, they are made specifically to do what the name says: slide. They were made for groovers and spinsters who ride hard.
The 62mm size provides quick acceleration, and these are perfect if you plan on getting into technical, hard wheel sliding where grip is of no concern. Otherwise, pick a more multipurpose wheel. They run around $40 for the set, and come in white.
