what wheels would u suggest for someone who is a beginner skater but a good cruiser, but wants to learn to skate street.  I am good at cruising, but I cant even pop an Ollie.  However, I really want to learn.  What kind of wheels do you suggest for someone who rides on a pretty rough street who wants to cruise but learn to pop a Ollie or kickflip here or there? I was thinking these wheels. What do you suggest?

I know, right? My neighborhood's street was tarred in the 80's, so it it filled with rocks 'n' shit. Riding regular skate wheels feels terrible, plain terrible.

 But after snooping around I found these and I set them up on my cruiser setup. I was amazed at the performance and softness of these wheels, they are too nice for the price. (Hey, that rhymes!)

 I liked them soo much I set them up on my main, and they are kinda skate-shaped but they feel like longboard wheels. Which is good for street and cruising. They have a cool black color, and matches my Enjoi. Here's the link:

Love these.

if you get those i would recommend getting some risers. anything above 53 imo requires them to avoid wheelbite very happy

Those Filmbot wheels look pretty good, can't go wrong with bones. I would recommend SPF's too. Also, unless you're riding really loose or low trucks, you"ll be fine without risers.

I think 54 is a good size. I've always stuck with 54s and they're a nice size that's not too small and not too big for performing street tricks. I always get the wheels that aren't those thin types of wheels.

I use 54s and don't get wheelbite o.o

If you find a medium sized wheel with a soft durometer then you're set. Those filmer wheels should do the job for you.

PS. you will only get wheel bite if you have medium/loose trucks. I've gotten wheel bite with 54's
