Typical longboard wheels range from 65 to 107 millimeters (2.6 to 4.2 in) in diameter. A taller wheel will have slower acceleration but a faster rolling speed. Smaller wheels have the opposite effect. The durometer of a wheel is how hard the urethane is. A softer wheel will be ultimately slower than a harder wheel on smooth surface.
Each skateboard wheel is mounted on its axle via two ball bearings. With few exceptions, the bearings are the industrial standard "608" size, with a bore of 8 or 10 mm (0.315 or 0.394 inches) depending on the axle, an outer diameter of 22 mm (0.866 inches), and a width of 7 mm (0.276 inches).
Wheels: Penny board wheels are made from Polyurethane, with a plastic core. The wheels on 22-inch (55.9 cm) and 27-inch (68.6 cm) Penny boards have a diameter of 59 mm (2.323 inches), while Penny longboard wheels have a larger diameter of 69 mm (2.717 inches).

A skateboard wheel contains two bearings, which are subject to both axial and radial time-varying loads. Most commonly bearing 608-2Z is used (a deep groove ball bearing from series 60 with 8 mm bore diameter) Many yo-yos, ranging from beginner to professional or competition grade, incorporate ball bearings.
[93]: 81, 84 But by 1988, 64mm Rollerblade Zetra 100 and BladeRunner wheels had become the slower wheels, compared to faster, larger, and higher-end Lightning wheels, now at 70mm in diameter. [Q] Around 1999, a normal wheel size for recreational skates was 70-72mm, and large wheels for speed skates meant 78-82mm. [78]: 22–24 [117]: 315–316 ...
Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.
Imperial measurement has become standardized for decks, trucks, nuts, and bolts, but wheel diameter is measured in millimeters. Skateboard parts can be individually repaired or replaced should they require maintenance. [18] [19] Skateboards can be serviced using a standard Imperial socket set, an Allen key set, and a small Imperial spanner set.
