not wut ya said above :)

White rims will stay white as long as you do not use your breaks which is much more challenging then it sounds if you ever move the vehicle.

now if you paint them black then you will not have to worry about it again...

So this is my logic.

I want 18" Saleen Rims, White. But cannot afford new tires atm.

IF I respray my white rims, white again, then nothing really changes.....

IF I spray them black tho, getting them back to white would be hard.

Also, If I went black I might have to paint or polish my brakes cause its just too much black...


I dunno about yellow.... The Saleens looked ok, but Fobras? -_-

you could do the brakes yellow with the black rims that would look sick

No I had a sport bike with white wheels and loved it, until I had to clean them and then got to enjo them being clean until I used the brakes the first time and then they were no longer white. Your fronts are dirtier because those breaks to 2/3 of your stopping power and that is all the dust they shed just from normal use. If you went black it would not be an issue so the real questoin is, how much do you like cleaning your wheels?
