Default Looking to get me some trucks.

Right now I have a Sector 9 BombHills that has the original trucks (Invader 183mm's) and the Sector 9 wheels. I'm looking to get some trucks that will make my carving more enjoyable and some high rebound wheels. Also looking to do a little cruising/dancing on this setup.

I'm really interested in the Orangatang Inheats. Any opinion on them?
Also does anyone have any truck suggestions?
I've already been suggested Randal and Paris trucks.
They seem about the same price, anyone care to explain the difference?

Thanks much.

the orangatangs are good wheels. grippy, but buttery smooth to slide.

get some gullwing chargers. They are a good all around truck. my brother used them on his S9

the difference between the basic paris and randal trucks are minimal. the paris turns slightly better but both are your average truck, just like the gullwing charger. I just like the chargers a lot.

Ok, I'll look into those. What degree of truck should I be looking to get? Also, would I need to ride Randals and such with the kingpin pointed out instead of in? I'm a bit new and confused to the whole truck deal.

im riding the Gullwing Chargers and Big Zig 80a wheels. they work GREAT together and the wheels have the perfect grip. they dont give into a slide at all unless you want them to, which is a plus since the last wheels i had would just slide out from under me while taking a turn.

i think the Orangatangs would be perfect. from what i hear their just improved Big Zigs... improvments are good.

my suggestions:
Gullwing Chargers (i had to replace the bottom bushings though because the original ones are way soft and busted after the first day. i think i had them too tight)
Orangatang Inheats

What would you suggest replacing them with?
