You can get hybrid wheels that handle cruising pretty well, but also will be hard enough to do tricks on. Softer wheels will make bumpy crappy roads a bit easier and less jarring. You may want to go with a little wider of a board for cruising, 8.25" or even 8.5".
If possible, I would check to see if there are any local skate shops in your town. They'll know what's popular for your area's streets, and they'll be able to give you the best advice.
If I had to order something online, it would be to pick a board size, get some indy trucks that fit that board, and then go with some Cruiser wheels. I wouldn't go over 54mm. You can still do many tricks on cruiser wheels, and they'll almost all be beginner tricks. If you find yourself struggling with some, get some harder wheels down the road and swap wheels when you need to. Don't forget bearings and griptape and of course, a super sweet deck.
And make sure you tighten your trucks for more stability and get comfortable with it. Looser trucks are often better the more advanced you get, but do skate tighter trucks to start.
