Yes they do.
And, there are a lot of different wheels that have a different feel. Most street skaters don't realize this because they just get small, thin, hard wheels. There really isn't a big defference between those kinds of wheels.
There are so many different kind of wheels and different urethane mixes. For any terrain out there, there is probably a wheel designed to work best in that terrain.

It depends on the ground you usually have to skate. If the ground you usually skate is rough, try a bigger softer wheel.
If you skate strictly smooth ground, a 97 - 99a would be good. Any size would work.
For very smooth and kind of slippery, a wider 97a wheel would be best.
Autobahn would be good for just about any terrain you skate. Smooth, fast, and grippy. They also use a clear core that helps dampen vibration from rough ground.

Sorta like how Bones wheels makes different wheels for different things.

My spitfires never flat spotted. They wore down to like 1cm from the core after like 4 months. The ywere really good wheels though.
