White wheels, I would never do that. Keeping them clean is going to suck.

I've seen similar setups and as long as it's done with the right mods it can look good. Here's a picture of a customers Forgestar F14 with a custom two tone brushed white finish so that you can get some ideas!

Never liked white wheels, sorry.

White wheels are that jdm look. I don't like it for our cars, but don't listen to me that's just my opinion.

DoPedUpM3 · 07-29-2010, 12:02 PM

Nice C63!

Keep it coming guys I apprciate all of the feed back! Tbh I just dont want to follow the norm and powder coat them black.. Never seen anyone do white on sport wheels. Also I like how much cheeper it is rather than buying a whole new set up.

It's not a civic, stay away from white wheels

DoPedUpM3 · 07-29-2010, 12:09 PM

90$ per wheel.. Creative, Santa Ana Ca. Good deal?

I had White Racing Hart C5 (Five Spoke) wheels on my Prelude like 12 years ago. Looked dope at the time and different, but all wheel clear coat has a shelf life due to road grease/brake dust/oil and when the shine is gone, say hello to your mayonaise color wheels. It looks great at first, but you'll get sick of it pretty quickly.

SSR Werfen GT-03 in white on AW E92 M3

Normally, you don't want to do a same color wheel as the body color, you want some contrasting color between both.

White on white can be done, but very hard to pull off and usually works better with a multi piece wheel.

Thanks everyone for all the input! Still need to make a decision soon.. we'll see next paycheck.

My wheels are Matte Black with Alpine white wheel barrels. they are really nice but yes you have to get used to getting them cleaned. It does look better on 3 piece wheels.
