Nice choice of trucks.

Big wheels are for those who require speed - vert/ramp skaters, or people who ride actual street. Bigger wheels roll faster and don't stop when they hit cracks or other little things.
I think wheels are considered "big" when they're like 61mm or more.

Smaller wheels are good for tech skating, they are lighter and closer to the ground, good for doing flip tricks. Anything from 50-55mm would be decent.

An all around wheel is about 56mm or so. Its mainly preference, though if you're getting big wheels, make sure to get risers to avoid wheelbite.
