just got a new deck and trucks, but kept my old wheels, they‘re smooth, but really wide, like about an inch. should i get the thinner name brand wheels or does it not matter?
it is over rated junk, what do you expect?
It is important to have good skateboard wheels. Make sure they are not that thin but not that thick as well. Find balanced size wheels.
If you feel uncomfortable turning when using your old wheels, buy a set of new wheels from a wheel based company like spitfire, hubba, ricta , momentum and darkstar. They are more durable than wheels that came from board brands.
Get new wheels because with time your wheels develop flat spots which makes for a wobbly ride. This way, everything is new. Spitfire, Autobahn or Ricta have good wheels. they come in all sizes, I prefer 52 mm, which is about average.
