It will be fine. Seeing as this is your first ''real'' longboard you wont know any difference from the others. As you start to work things out and become more confident on the board you will notice some things you like and some things you wont which will influence your next board purchase. Rollerblade wheels are ok but being narrow they dont grip anywhere nearly as well as what you are about to recieve. Have fun, good luck, hope you bought a helmet with that.

You might want to dewedge the back a bit to make it more stable as it looks wedged at both ends

dewedging the back will basically make the back truck turn less. Giving more stability, more of a surfy feel, not so twitchy, lets you dig into carves abit harder i find. It makes the steering come from the front, not equally front and back.
Ride it like it is before worrying about changing anythig, chances are you'll think it's fine the way it is.
have fun and ride safe :)
