These are a less expensive version of the Giotto professional figure wheels and are used for the large circles as well as loops. A few also use the Magnum wheels as a low cost dance wheel for beginners in competition. Most competitors use 63mm for the large circles and use combinations of hardnesses to achieve the best skating result. RollLine has developed this wheel giving it properties that provide great roll with just the right amount of grip for figures.

In the USA, most skaters use the 60D, while stepping down to the 53D or sometimes the 57D for the inside toe wheels as additional push wheels.
The softer the wheel, or lower shore “D” hardness number, the more the grip and slightly less roll. The harder the wheel, or higher shore “D” number, the more the roll, with slightly less grip. The shore “D” scale is used for rubber and plastics, while the shore “A” scale is used for urethane.
It is almost always recommended to use spacers in the wheels, when using standard 7mm bearings.
