We‘ll also explain the different durometer scales brands use for their wheels. ➌ Standard vs. Core Wheels | 04:37 If the core of your skateboard wheels is made of plastic, we call it a core wheel.

Each shape has its own characteristics that influence the feel of your setup and benefit different terrains.
