Absolutely.. ABEC # is no more than an industrial grading system fot heat and load tolerances and really means nothing in Skateboarding.. So many people think the higher the # the better the bearings.. not necessarily true. You'd be looking at highway speeds with a 300+lb load on the wheels to actually have an ABEC rating really matter.. For a longboard.. you can use whatever is handy.
He is referring to Abec11 the wheel company, there is not an abec 11 rated bearing. Abec 11 make wheels of all sizes some of which would be great on the Stella l0ongboard, without more information I cannot suggest a size and wheel from Abec11

What type of wheels can you put on a penny board?
Longboard wheels have a small hub, or core, inside it. Skateboard wheels also have this. This allows you to put bearings inside of both of them and can interchange what trucks you put on it. Generally, longboard wheels fit on normal skateboard trucks but a problem you will encounter is wheelbite. You may need to sand the board for wheel wells or put big risers on your board. Another solution is buying harder bushings for less turn and lean.

Should you put new abec bearings in your old skateboard wheels ive almost wrecked the old ones but i wondered if you can put them in some okay or should i getsome new wheels?
Yes, you shouldn't be replacing your wheels every time your bearings wear out. If your wheels are still good, just get a skate shop to pull the old bearings out and put new ones in. While you're at it, get them to teach you how to do it yourself--it's a pretty simple task.
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.
What is faster skateboard or longboard?
It's not actually the size of the skateboard that matter's, its the ball bearings the wheels have inside them. Cheap bearings that come with cheap walmart/warehouse boards almost always go slowly, were as proper bearings from your local skate shop will go a lot faster.
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.
