They will stay white for about 2 minutes so there's not much point.

Most prefer black when painting wheels.

white would be da shit but as one said, youd have to clean them all the time for them to stay white

FWIW - My wifes current car, a Mini S, has white wheels to go with the white roof.
They look pretty good. when clean. Which isnt often, as the brakes kick out a lot of dust. As much as she likes em, even she admits it was a mistake. |

I powdercoated my Lotus Elise wheels yellow. Looked awesome, but was a total bitch to keep clean. If I didn't clean them weekly (which I didn't), the brake dust would etch itself into the paint. Yellow was a big mistake, but white will be even worse.

I've seen them white, it looks amazing! I think you should go for it. As for the cleaning comments, it is what it is.

We've done a lot of white wheels. Matte white and gloss white. They look AWESOME when on a car but like everyone said, very tedious to keep clean. They'll turn a shade darker once you hit your first stop sign / red-light.

I did it a few months ago. Here was my thread. Sorry about the smudge on the left side of the camera.
