Smaller wheels, like 50-52mm…Any wheel would be good as long as it's not like cheap ones from like wal mart or target and stuff. Go to http://www.ccs.com and look at the wheels there and see which ones you like, and try to find it between 50-52mm. If your just starting out skateboarding I would recommend getting them a little bigger like 52-54mm, then once you get the hang of it move down to smaller wheels if you want. Anything above 54mm I wouldn't recommend for street skating…bowl and vert skating yes. References : http://shop.ccs.com/browse.do?categoryID=61&sidenavTrack=skate.wheels

smaller wheels and low trucks. You want bigger wheels for vert because you get more speed out of bigger wheels, you don't need a lot of speed for flip tricks, you don't need any at all most. I use 53 or 54mm wheels. Any brand of wheel is good, urathane wheels are all the same, made from the same stuff there is no trick to making a better wheel. I've used name brand and now been using blanks. All you get with a name brand is help that brand pay for pro skaters to use their wheels. References : 17 years skateboarding
