Remember large wheels mean more speed and a smoother ride. If you want to keep it more hybrid and also hit the skate parks you might want a gullwing mission truck which is a standard skate truck but also allows for smooth turns you just have to put a smaller sized wheel around 64mm or smaller to avoid wheel bite but it will still be a smooth ride.
