Whether you're reusing your existing bearings or buying new ones make sure they're compatible with the wheels you want to buy. They come in two sizes; 668 (micro bearings) and 608 (standard.) Buy brand name bearings only and don't cheap out. A generic ABEC9 bearing will probably perform worse than a brand name ABEC5.
The "82A" stamped on your wheels is the durometer aka how hard the wheel is. If you're playing mostly outdoors I suggest anything in the 76A-82A range. If you get anything softer the wheels will get eaten up real fast. If you play indoors I'd get something between 68A-76A.
Which brand markets 82A as indoor wheels? I've yet to come across any.
