You need to know the width and the length. You should be ok with anything between 7'' to 7.75''. I can suggest Reinbe Yellow Wave or KB Dots ( both 7.5" X 31"), or from Baker: Lenoce Animal House (7.75 x 31.63). But definitely the 7.5'' Reinbe sized would feel better for you, since it's shorter as well.

How do you break in skateboard wheels?
"All you have to do is ride it, but if there being stubburn then
you can take WD-40 and grease them up. But if that doesnt
work then its the berrings and you need to go to a skate shop
were its all legit and buy a good par of them."
This is beyond wrong. Sorry; cept for the riding part
Ride them
If you're breaking in for slides then hit a hill a few dozen times with some carving until the shiny layer wears off, then do speedchecks or light slides (the smoother the pavement the better), by this point they're pretty close on their way, just keep sliding to make them even "butterier"
For slalom/downhill just wear the shiny layer off and make sure you're comfy doing speedchecks and pre-drifts on sticky wheels.
DO NOT WD-40
It'll gum your bearings and eventually they'll seize
I used 3 in 1 and the same thing happened, went to coleman slide, slide chopped, bearings seized, board went 90degrees and ripped 2 of my wheels off.
Some wheel companies have pre-broken in wheels for sliding (Otang grinds theirs on stones to name one) but a company like Abec11 does not pre-break their wheels in.
