Default Orange Zigs And Mini Advice

so ive got a few questions:

Im getting a 26" arcane mini with bennetts, but i dont know which size to get. what would you recommend?

As for wheels, im looking at 66mm zigs and i was wondering how the oranges ride. do they pump well without losing traction? do they ride rough? How about lemons? (same questions apply)

it will be a all around cruiser/commuter/trunk board

Oh and Im 6', 160lbs, and looking for older men with a sense of humor.

thanks

I think you would be better off with Limes,
Or Lime rear, Lemon front..
Oranges are pretty hard and not as grippy...
They're mostly used as a front slalom wheel..

yeah but im looking for something that i could just screw around on. stand up 180s, speed checks, pumping ect. just a fun board to commute and mess around on. i just want to know if they will ride smooth. but lemons and limes are still in the running

Stand-up 180's and speedchecks are not cruising and commuting.

I ride orange zigzags on a homemade mini. I have 1/8" soft risers, with Bennett trucks, blue and white khiro barrels in front, 2 red khiro barrels in back. I do not get any wheelbite.
