As far as I know it's 135 x10 rear end.  Thank your the help. I've checked out the hope pro 4 ss/trials hub, I will have a look at the others and rims that you have recommended.  I saw the industry 9 hub(really expensive)

I suggest a Hope Pro V (or even pro IV or pro 2 evo 40t) ss/trials or maybe Industry Nine (really expensive). Do you have the 142 or 135 rear ends installed currently? If you have the 135*10, you can also buy a trial hub and a freewheel. That might be slightly less expensive. If the price difference is not much, I would rather go for a hope hub.  Regarding the rims, I have a good experience with DT swiss, either the ex471 or fr560. Nice build quality. Spank has a good reputation too.  

completely agree back end looks long looks like a bike from halfords aimed at 'stunts' surprising as clean seems to be a very premium brand

Thanks for the reply. I would like to keep this bike but change the gearing slightly as to make pedal kicks easier.  I have a front brake so that's a good thing.  I rode BMX a long time ago for about 15 years so it feels slightly different to that. I was thinking this bike could be a bike that could do it all, skatepark, dirt jumps and if I changed the gearing street trials.  I thought that about the driver on my rear hub. I've had a look about for a rear wheel but I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Hi,   Difficult question. Why do you want to sell the bike at all? DJ, skatepark or street is not what you were looking for?   Trials or street/trials require a specific bike past a certain level, but you can learn the basics with any bike. Some bikes are easier to start with for sure, but the question is whether you will stick to it or not. A I was moderator on a French trials forum, I observed too often people selling their bikes after one year of trials. My advice is to start with your bike as this and learn trackstand, bunny, manual, getting up some small steps, bunny to rear, 180, riding backwards, hoping on the rear wheel backwards and if you have a front brake, stoppies, bunny up to front, 180 on the front wheel, etc.  As soon as you really feel addicted, ask yourself again how do you really want to ride. Meet people owning one and ask them to ride with.   I think you won't find easily a driver with 15t compatible and even in this case, the small amount of points of engagement is a big drawback. You can swap for a rear wheel with e.g. hope hub but it is quite expensive. On the other hand, it is a nice hub for a DJ bike too.
