57mm Wheels

57mm Skateboard Wheels

57mm wheels occupy the perfect middle ground between traditional street setups and the monster wheels that transition purists swear by, offering enough diameter to maintain momentum through rough terrain without the weight penalty that makes flip tricks feel like you're wrestling furniture. This size gained traction among skaters who refuse to choose between street spots and transition sessions, providing the versatility that modern skating's "skate everything" approach demands. Street skaters tackling longer lines discovered that maintaining speed between obstacles often matters more than having the lightest possible setup, with riders like Jake Johnson proving that slightly larger wheels can enhance rather than compromise technical capability. Available in durometer options ranging from concrete-crushing compounds to street-friendly formulas, 57mm wheels demonstrate that sometimes the best compromise isn't really a compromise at all.
