Whats the differance in roller blades wheels?
The only wheels that are litterally flat across the bottom are the tiny and hard agressive wheels. They are made that way to help agressive skaters land after large jumps.





All rec/fitness/racing/hockey/street wheels should be rounded. The racing wheels may have a slightly more pointed profile but it isn't that important. If you will be doing a lot of indoor skating, you might want to ask others who skate at the location about what wheels work well on their particular floor.





I use the Zero Drag 84A Racing wheels (http://www.rollerbob.com/cat-10.html) both indoors and outdoors.


The indoor floor is polished concrete (concorses at our domed stadium www.roller-dome.com) but the loop is large and the corners are not sharp.
Reply:For starters I would use the round ones they feel better
