My 12 yo has recently gained an interest n learning to skateboard. I have a board already, but its trucks and wheels are rusting out. I would like to replace them with new ones, and I wanted to ask what would be good (economical) trucks and wheels to get?

The current trucks and wheels don’t have any branding information that I can see.

    The hardware looks fine. I’d start by slapping some fresh bearings (Reds are always a safe bet) with spacers. Before spending money on trucks, I’d invest in wheels that match the surface he rides the most (street v park). Nothing kills the stoke faster than a slow board.
