Downhill - To go fast and stay in control, you want a big wheel with a lot of contact with the pavement.
Core Placement
Centerset - The hubs in these wheels are set equidistant from the lips, resulting in an even wear and a controlled slide.
Word to the wise: They can be rotated (like your car's tires) to promote even wear and a longer lifespan.
Wheel Edge
Round Lip - Breaks traction more easily and offers smoother transitions from grip to slide. Round lip wheels are generally preferred for freeriding.
Surface Type
Smooth - The natural shiny finish provides extra grip for railing corners and is more responsive when pumping/carving compared to wheels with a stone ground finish.
Wheel Features
Race Formula - This is Sector 9's fastest and most evenly wearing urethane compound.
Durometer
75a - These are about as soft as it gets. They offer a smooth ride, ideal for cruising.
