Hot Lava With White Wheels

I've been thinking alot and have really wanted white wheels. The only thing is I can't find any pictures of hot lava FRS's with white wheels. So if you have one or have pictures please share so it can help my make the investment!!!!!

Mine had white wheels on it at the dealer. They were horrible (to me). The orange and black with these glowing white spots in each corner just did not cut it at all. I didn't take any pictures I am afraid.

Found a pic of another one and it pretty much sums up the look.

White wheels... 'Cough' , I mean dirty wheels, are going to need wiped off. Make sure you get a wheel design that is easy to clean.

I had white wheels on my Lancer GTS. I carried a jug of vinegar around at all times. It was the only way to even remotely attempt keep up with the brake dust. What wouldn't even be noticed on other wheels looks like crap after just a few miles on white. OK if you hardly ever drive the car but sucks on a DD.

I had white wheels on my previous car and weekly cleaning is definitely a must. I don't even drive on weekdays.

I've considered white wheels on my hot lava because I don't like the "halloween" look but the fact that I use hawk pads keeps me from trying it. They'd always be grey/light grey two tone.

There are gunmetal, gold, chrome, grey and many other colors to prevent the Halloween look (or Black Hole Syndrome as I refer to it). White just sort of looks like you borrowed the wheels from somebody's Civic.
