Why skaters like it
Linked in beginner threads on r/NewSkaters when someone asks about hard or soft wheels and what size to buy.
“… for cruising I like somewhere between 60-65mm. With Paris trucks though if you go above 61-62 mm you'll probably need 1/8 or 1/4 inch riser pads. …”

What skaters said on Reddit
Yeah for cruising I like somewhere between 60-65mm. With Paris trucks though if you go above 61-62 mm you'll probably need 1/8 or 1/4 inch riser pads. More important than size though for cruising is having a soft wheel. Make sure your weeks aren't harder than 90a. Otherwise it's going to be a rough ride. Here is a video [VIDEO] that will help explain everything I am saying. Here is a site [LINK] that sells good cheap wheels.
