Features
Carving/Cruising - Carving/cruising wheels meet the needs of many different skate disciplines but generally, have a good roll speed and are soft enough to handle craggy streets riddled with cracks and rocks.
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.
Round Lip - Breaks traction more easily and offers smoother transitions from grip to slide. Round lip wheels are generally preferred for freeriding.
Stone Ground - Perfect for freeride. With zero break-in needed, stone ground wheels slide much easier than smooth wheels, right out of the cellophane.
9-Ball Formula - Sector 9's standard formula urethane, perfect for all-around cruising or ripping.
78a - The most common durometer we see amongst cruiser wheels. They have great grip for cornering and easily roll over cracks, small rocks and the like.

Reviews
I've skated other "filmer" wheels with 85a to 92a duro. No reason to ever go in between unless you are actually filming. Softer wheels are best for cruising, and have a 99a+ duro set-up for street/park.
