What is the best wheels and wheel size for riding mainly street and a bit of park?
You'd want to get a harder wheel and the size is up to you, choose whatever you're comfortable with. I'd go with a wheel that's in the mid 50mm's
dude, i've never noticed a difference, personally. I like blanks better (wheels, never boards) simply because they're cheaper, and wear just the same. brands may be a *bit smoother* but not by very much. i'd focus on your bearings first before brand wheels.
size depends more on how long you've been skating. bigger wheels (52mm or so) will feel more comfortable if you're just starting out. you can get going faster with less effort and the little bumps in the ground won't run through your legs so much. this also helps for street depending on how rough your streets are. mids (50mm) should feel pretty good for street if you've been skating for a while. you'll have to push a little more to get going as fast, but the lower center of gravity will make your flip tricks feel more comfortable if you've been skating a long time and you've comfortable with your streets and your riding, and you want to get really technical with your flips and slides you can go with some smaller wheels. like 45mm or 47mm. your center of gravity will feel really low, but it's better for landing your more technical flips. it gives you just a little bit more space for them to come around. but the little bumps and cracks in the sidewalk will feel like mountains.
