This is what I would get (pretty damn close to what I ride too):
Deck: Popwar, AWS, blank. Around a 7.62 width.
Trucks: Venture 7.5 width
Grip: Jessup
Wheels: Pig 52mm
Bearings: Bones. Reds or Swiss.
Hardware: Shorty's.
P.S. Shouldn't this be in the reviews section?

If I were you I wouldn't get small wheels unless the streets you sk8 on are pretty smooth, get bigger ones.
