What Skateboard Wheels should I get?

• I have recently skated and more of a cruising person. Main reason for skating is to get around classes faster on campus. I dont use a longboard because its too long, and a mini-cruiser is too small. So i got a regular enjoi board 7.65 width and was wonder what wheels i should get for smooth riding. I currently have 50mm darkstar wheels and i feel EVERYTHING while riding. I was thinking about putting longboard wheels on to see how it goes. Im looking at a 65mm sector 9 wheels right now. What size wheel do you think will help me the most? Aside from that, i notic that there are two types of wheels (thin and wide). The wide is like the one from penny cruisers, is there a difference in feel and riding with wider wheels? Im also not looking to do any tricks except a simple ollie. Much Help is appreciated.

• Answer:

  You will want a softer wheel if you want to absorb the vibrations from the ground. Somewhere around 78a - 82a. You will probably use a 60mm - 65mm wheel. There are square lipped wheels and round wheels. Square wheels will grip turns better. Rounder wheels will slide easier, but are probably lighter if you want to ollie. I would recommend you look at some Abec11 No Skoolz wheels.
