Powell Peralta Mini-Cubic Skateboard Wheels

While you can skate them anywhere, the Mini-Cubics are specifically designed for pool and bowl riding. Their 64mm diameter and 95a durometer are optimized for maintaining speed and grip on transition surfaces rather than technical street tricks.

An offset bearing seat means the core is positioned toward the inside of the wheel, which creates a wider contact patch and more stability. You should ensure your trucks are compatible with this design to avoid wheel bite or clearance issues with your deck.

These are a direct revival of an early 1980s design, so they are heavier and bulkier than most modern street wheels. They offer a specific, nostalgic ride quality that prioritizes momentum and grip over the lightweight, slide-friendly performance of contemporary shapes.

At 95a, these wheels are considered a hard durometer, making them well-suited for the smooth concrete found in most skateparks. They provide enough grip to hold a line in a bowl while remaining hard enough to maintain speed without feeling sluggish.

No special hardware is required, but because of their width and offset design, you may want to consider using riser pads. This helps prevent the wheels from rubbing against your deck during sharp turns or deep carves.
