Everybody has their favorite wheel type. You can use freewheel or cassette wheels with multi-gears on the rear. In most cases, you need a nutted axle (vice skewer). Springer forks are fine unless you plan on riding off-road trails. Rear sprockets can be mounted using the typical rag joint, clam shell or disk mount.
It's hard to get all the answers up front. Do plenty of reading on this site before purchasing.
