One of the most important part of a skateboard is the skateboard wheels.  As with all parts of your skateboard, appearance is a big factor.  You need to make sure your wheels look good with the rest of the skateboard.  The other 2 factors are the hardness of the wheel and the diameter of the wheel.  Larger wheels allow you to go faster.  If you are doing a lot of skateboarding on ramps, you will want a larger wheel to get more speed so you can get more air.  If you are going to be doing more tricks on the ground, you will probably want smaller wheels because they will be lighter and allow you to flip your skateboard easier.  If you are going to do a lot of all terrain type skating, you may want to choose a softer wheel to give you a smoother ride.  As with all of the elements of a complete skateboard, many skaters will be well served by getting a medium sized wheel of average hardness.

There's some good information in here, but you didn't explain the difference between hard and soft wheels! Other than that, this was a great hub.
