Hey, I'm fairly new here, and haven't been riding all that long. I picked up a stock goddess at a local shop because the price was pretty killer. After riding it for about 3 weeks, I'm starting to think I could benefit from some new wheels, because there is already a chunk out of one of my wheels.
The wheels I currently have on it (the stock ones) are 70mm 75a green nineballs. I've been looking around at different opinions on wheels, and I think I'm going to want something bigger then that. I've been looking at Abec11's primarily big zigs or gumballs for a campus cruiser, and carving.
I was wondering if first of all, you guys thought those would be a good choice for my deck, and my ride, and then if I'll need any other components like bearings. Also will these wheels work on my board?

Thanks for all your help.
yes you need chrome plated spinners,jimz trucks,ceramic bearings, and a nano tube deck.
just kidding,the biggest performance changes are bushings and bearings,yes you need spacers.
if you go with a bigger wheel ,made need slightly bigger riser,i am assuming you have 1/8-3/8 inch risers pad now.might need another 1/8 to go with 75mm if you are riding soft bushings.
as for wheels it depends on what you are doing with the board,sliding and what not.
They are gullwing mission 1's...Could you please explain wheelbite.
Wheelbite is when the wheel contacts the board in a hard turn. If it happens to the back wheels, it's not too bad. If, however, it happens up front, you could get pitched off the board.
Chances are you will need taller risers (the thing between the trucks and the board) so the larger wheels will clear (the board). You might need longer mounting hardware, too.

how do you like those trucks, I know they usually throw gullwing chargers on those boards. Also about the squeeking in the trucks, you just have to wear them in once you wear them in they wont squeek. Sometimes the squeek comes from over tightened trucks too if you slightly loosen the four nuts on each truck it will stop squeeking. sometimes its the spacer that rubs on the bottom of the board, everytime i tighten myne it squeeks for a few days.
