What deck / wheels did you get? I recently built up a Lush cruiser with Paris 150s and it rides like a dream, have the 180s on a dropthrough too - turn really nicely but still feel stable with the standard bushings, so you could do worse than have a look at those.
These are new but are as cheap as s/h ones tend to go for, this seller (Sean Goff of 80's skate lore) has been clearing some out
*Edit - just seen your deck is pretty wide, might be better with 170/180s but maybe someone has run a setup like this

I've gone and brought myself a cruiser (board and wheels) as my BiL is going to try and get firstborn (almost 4) into skateboarding. He's already made up a couple of paw patrol decks for him. I've never skated, so I'm going to give myself 6mths to get comfortable on it (I'm only getting it so I can follow along with him/them to the skatepark, and show solidarity)
I'm after some reverse kingpin trucks (as advised by BiL) and was wondering if anyone had any, and if not, if there were any forums I could have a look at to see if I could get some for small beer, I'd prefer to buy some secondhand rather than new (repair/reuse/recycle and all that)
Let me know
