I was just out and went to a store and got a killer deal on some 164 punx center mounted.
Money is tight and i was pretty stoked
Do you think the sizing is right if i ski a lot of park?

Sell them and go bigger, unless you are a beginner skier or a rail rat you will hate those.  Since punx are fairly soft those are going to be death on jumps.  You should be on a minimum of a 175, 181+ would be good.  For reference i'm 5 9 and i ride 184's for park, 189's for pow and 176's for urban.

exactly what everyone has said, I'm 5'11 and ride 181 S4s only because you can't get 188 S4s.
