Answer 1

The setup is fine.  Ditch the Rims and the spacers.  They will cause more trouble than they are worth.  Make sure that there is a little play in the wheels and use speed rings.  If you need regular nuts or speed rings, get them at a local skate shop.  The bearings might take some time to break in.  They will get faster as they break in.

I don't think LED risers work well.  They are too low to the ground to be seen easily.  You;d be better off getting an armband LED light.  You can find these at many bike shops.
