Answer:

White Skateboard
White skateboard wheels are just like any other color wheels, they hold up just the same way other wheels do. The only difference is the color and how it gets dirty easily. Yes, If you're riding on blacktop... the wheels will get dirtier than if you're riding on cement. But honestly it's not that big of a deal. You can always clean them with a soggy rag. Not hard to clean at all. The wheels turning yellow? That's not that big of a deal either and yellow wheels are cool on a red board too. Haha. BUT HEY, you said you're getting a red and white STEREO vinyl cruiser... I've owned both a stereo vinyl and a 22" penny board. The pennys' are 10 bucks more expensive but I promise you that you will get the most bang for your buck. I've had to change the wheels on my stereo to penny board wheels because they are WAY softer and nicer to cruise on. Also the wheels on the stereo chipped and got wheel bite the first 3 days of riding. I've also had to change the bearings on the stereo to bones reds. and the bushings... I'm even planning on buying new trucks. The design on the stereo gets dirtier easily too and it's hard to take out dirt. On my Penny board... Nothing. the only thing I changed on my penny was the bearings to bones reds just for personal preference. Go with penny, not stereo or bantam. whatever you buy though, have fun and keep skating bro :)
