What are the wheels on a skateboard made out of plastic or metal?
Wheels on skateboard can be as little as 50mm and go as big as 70mm (longboard wheels) and the softness rating verys. Smaller wheels are better for flip tricks, while bigger wheels are better for ramps and cursing . Harder wheels are better for tricks, while softer wheels are better for multi terrain cursing. What you want to do is figure out what you want to do on your skateboard (your skate style), from there you can choose the wheels that works best for you. Note for bigger wheels you are going to put risers on your board to prevent wheel bite.

Yes, more or less. Except for any grease, it is a collection of solid matter. It is not a liquid nor a gas. The body is made out of wood, fiberglass, or some sort of composite material. The frames for the wheels are made out of aluminum or some alloy (metal). Then the wheels are made out of some sort of rubber or plastic. Then there are bearings, screws, and nuts, and those are made out of steel or other metal. So for the most part, a skateboard is made from solid matter.

Where can you find bearings on your skateboard?
The bearings are usually silver looking discs that are in the wheels. They can be any color, but since they are usually metal, the most common color is silver. When you assemble a skateboard, you have to press the bearings into the wheels before you put the wheels onto the trucks. This is what gives you speed, not the wheels. Bearins are rated usually ABEC 1 - 7 (except for bones). Basically, the higher the number the faster they will be, but also the price.
