I need help picking out wheels

I started skating again after nearly eight years and I bought the Echo Verve skates. However, after two weeks of street use (barely any grinds, I used them mostly for commuting to and from work which comes up to about 8km or 5 miles daily), the front right wheel overheated and ripped itself to shreds. The skate shop I bought them from was kind enough to send me two replacement wheels free of charge, however I fear that this will happen again.

Is there a way I can make the Echo Verves more suited for street use while keeping the stock frame or should I just use them for skateparks?
