49-54 mm wheels are best for street skating. Anything bigger is for vert. Bigger wheels means you have a faster max speed. Vert skaters like big wheels so they go fast in a small space.

Fury, Krux, Grind King(G5's) are all nice. Also a tip, don't get low or high trucks if it's your first board. Get mid's or normal shit cuz I made the mistake of starting on low trucks.

Well nothing really but it's better to start off with mids. You see with lows, low trucks are for fast flipping but you don't get as much height. High trucks allow you to get full height but make it harder to flip. I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

It was kinda good cuz when I switched to regular trucks I could ollie higher but I had to get used to doing tricks on em.

Spitfire wheels, they are soft as ****, and they are wicked...

um, Royal trucks (the classic Colors, Light blue all, and blue writing look the best)

imho the best wheels for skating street are gel wheels. don't matter what brand, as long as u can see through them they are good. once u skate those you will never go back to normal wheels. they are sooo freaking smooth. it feels like ur gliding when u skate on a basketball court
