Fellow Longboarders helps?
You know lots of my friends have fireballs and I love them for their size and sliding ability so what wheels are most like them and would go well with Paris 180mm trucks. BTW I have a Loaded Vanguard.

I hang around on silverfishlongboarding.com (check it out, if you haven't before. Lots of useful stuff.) quite a bit, and I've never actually heard about Fireball wheels before.
I brought up a picture of them on Google, and shape-wise, they look a lot like Gravity Hi-Grades. A few reviews have said that Hi-Grades slide nicely, but I haven't used them before.
Other wheels people love for soft-wheel sliding include the Orangatangs (both square and round-lipped), Gumballs, Flashbacks, Gravity Drifters, etc. Research is your friend for something you'll be dropping ~$45 on.
Question though: Why wouldn't you get Fireballs too, if you like them? Here's a thread on Silverfish with reviews/feedback on them: http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/longboard-skateboarding-wheels-bearings/122982-fireball-beast-first-impresssions.html
Skate on!
