The hardness of your skateboard wheels is measured in durometers, and it is one of two main considerations to think about when making your purchase. Most wheels are one durometer, but there are also dual durometer wheel, which have a harder center and a softer outer riding surface. Generally a softer wheel is better for the street and harder wheels are better for ramps and skate parks.
