Well dude i would rather get some 54 mm ones cause your wheels will wear out and stuff.

A little taller wheel like a 54mm will be a bit faster as well.

Personally, I like small wheels. 53-54mm are pretty basic wheel sizes.

I like 51's but out of those choices, you picked the right one.

52's would be good since they'll eventually wear down but not too fast.

its personal preference.

smaller = a little lower and lighter, but it doesnt make a huge difference

bigger = faster, lasts longer, smoother

50 - 55 is a good range for street. i like 53-54 when i ride boards bigger than 8" with my 8" trucks, and i like 52 or 53 when i ride 8" boards with my 7.75 lows.

I'd get 54's since they would be a bit faster and won't wear down as fast.

I dont skate anything above 52 unless i get them for free. Someone hooked me up with some 54's so i ride that now.
