Bones, Ricta or Spitfire is the way i would go, I'm rocking Ricta Naturals at the moment. Hardness: you want harder wheel if you're street skating and softer if you're skating tranny, park, miniramp, bowl or vert :) Size: Street wheels are usually anywhere between 45 and 60mm and anything bigger than that is usually for longboards or cruisers, I'd usually stick to anything under 55. 52 or 53 maybe? bu it's all down to personal preference.

I'd go for Bones STF, especially for street. The slippery-ness is great for powerslides and pivoting/sliding out of tricks and the hardness is amazing, you barely shave off a millimeter after a couples weeks of skating! I've also heard good things about Spitfire Streetburners (F1) and that they're really good for speed and the durability is decent as well. :)
