With two main styles of wheels you are sure to find everything you would need. There are wheels with large, defined lips on the side. We call those square lipped wheels. They are made for cruising or for downhill as the have a larger surface area providing more grip, control, and comfort. A great example of these wheels would be the Abec 11 Classic ZigZags. 

The other wheels type are the wheels that do not have a defined lip and are rather round on the edges. We call these round lipped wheels. They are used for sliding or for tricks as they have less surface area and less grip than the square lipped wheels. This makes the wheels easier to slide out. With the appropriate wheel you can have a long, smooth controled slide. A great example of the wheels would be the Abec 11 Freeride wheels.

Wheels have 3 different hub placements. The hub is the housing for the bearing. Most wheels have an off center hub. We call those offset wheels. Those provide for lots of grip and comfort while still maintaining a strong life of the wheel. Some wheels have a perfectly center set hub. These centerset wheels have the longest life. They have a strong core that provides for a more even wear all the way down. Finally the most rare hub placement is flushed to one side of the wheel. Side set wheels have the most grip and comfort. If a wheel is worn down all the way until the core shows we call the wheel "cored". For downhill longboarders cored wheels are a status symbol.

When is it time to get new wheels? If your wheels have sufficient wear it might be time to get new wheels. The most common sign of a degrading wheel is known as chunking. Chunking is when large pieces of wheels fall off.
