Default freeriding/freestyle wheels for vanguard

i have a vanguard, and have been riding gumballs on them, and doing lots of carving, boardwalking, powerslides, and freestyle tricks like shuvits and flips, and as much as i like the gumballs, i have managed to cone every wheel to the outside of the board, making rotating pointless, so i need a new wheel for what i do, including grippy, slidable and all that, but center set so i can flip them if needed, and i have searched extensivly so please dont flame me. also i want them over 70mm, thanks.

from reviews seems like the 4 pres orangatangs fit the bill, they are 70mm though.

70mm tall with a Contact patch (width of wheel in contact with ground) of 53mm. Now available in a harder 83a (Purple) as well as a softer 80a (Orange). These wheels are intended for grippy, hard carving,pumping and speed. They will slide when broken in, but a 70mm Freeride wheel is scheduled for late 2008. The 4President features an offset design with subtle lip characteristics for increased grip, speed, and high energy return

straight from loaded website, they are offset

Powerballs
81a/84a 77mm Strikers
81a 76mm Flywheels

I love my Powerballs for freeriding. The Strikers will have a little less grip, the Flywheels a little more.
