Fresh wheels make a big difference. They change how your scooter feels, rides, and responds. With the right wheels, your scooter will feel almost brand new. Before you buy, make sure the wheels are compatible with your setup. Below, you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions about pro scooter wheels.
Pro Scooter Wheels: How to Know if They Fit
Two dimensions determine whether a pro scooter wheel is compatible with your setup: diameter and width at the core. The most common dimensions for pro scooter wheels are a 110 mm diameter and 24 mm wide cores.
Wheel Diameter
If the wheels have a larger diameter than the wheel diameter your deck and fork are built to accommodate, they will not fit. You need clearance for the wheels to be able to roll. If the wheel diameter is smaller than the fork and deck's maximum wheel diameter, you wont have any issues.
⇒ Make sure your fork and deck can accommodate the diameter of the wheels you choose.
Wheel Width
The wheel's width at the core cannot exceed the maximum width that the fork and deck can accommodate. If you choose a wheel that is narrower than the fork, you can use spacers to fill the gaps.
⇒ Make sure your fork and deck can accommodate the width of the wheels you choose.
12STD Wheels
12STD wheels require a fork and a deck that are compatible with 12STD standard measurements. The 12STD system uses a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, unlike standard scooter wheels, which use 608 bearings and 8 mm axle holes.
⇒ Only get 12STD wheels if you run a 12STD fork and deck.
Key Pro Scooter Wheel Features (and How They Transform Your Ride)
There are a few technical details to consider when choosing new stunt scooter wheels. Each one affects how your scooter responds to your movements.
Wheel Diameter
- Bigger wheels increase speed and stability
- Smaller wheels feel lighter and they are more agile
Wheel Width
- Wider wheels are more grippy
- Narrower wheels are faster, but less grippy
Wheel Profile
- Flat wheel profiles offer more grip and stability
- Narrow wheel profiles offer more speed and agility
- Round wheel profiles are the golden mean between flat and narrow
Core Material
- Aluminum cores are durable and should be chosen for tricks
- Nylon cores are lighter and suitable for beginners and children (not suitable for tricks)
Core Design
- Solid core – The most durable option, but also the heaviest.
- Hollow core – Very strong and lighter than solid cores
- Spoked core – Strong and lightweight

If durability matters most to you, choose a solid core. Beyond that, the choice between these wheel core types is mostly about aesthetics.
Wheel Hardness

- Softer urethane has more surface grip but wears down faster
Common hardness range is 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.
How to Tell if You Need New Pro Scooter Wheels
Worn-out wheels affect your performance. If you're wondering whether it's time to replace your pro scooter wheels, look for these signs:
- Cracks in the rubber
- Flat spots
- Damage to the cores
These are clear indicators that it's time for an upgrade. At this stage, replacing your wheels will improve how your scooter feels.
Riders who use their scooter daily may need to change wheels every few months. Casual riders can expect their wheels to last longer.
Should I Replace Both Scooter Wheels at Once?
Replacing both wheels at the same time gives you better balance between the front and rear wheels. It also ensures consistent performance.
Replace both wheels if:
- Both wheels are worn down or have flat spots
- You want consistent performance between front and rear
- You're switching to a different wheel type or hardness
Replace one wheel if:
- Only one of your current wheels are damaged
- You are getting the same type of wheel
Do All Scooter Wheels Come With Bearings?
Most wheels for stunt scooters come with pre-installed bearings. This simplifies installation and ensures the wheels are ready to use. Always check the product specifications or images to confirm whether bearings are included.
