Personally, I am WAY to anal to have white wheels on my car -- especially if its a daily driver. They are not my style. Your best bet would be asking someone on here to do a photoshop for you

White wheels can work well on any bold coloured car. I like them for Orange and Blue as well but they are a bastard to keep clean

Looks good in the pic to me, i think red is one of the better colors to get white wheels on. I haven't noticed much brake dust at all either on my wheels so they may not be too bad to keep clean.

opti coat your wheels and then cleaning them will be as easy as power washing the wheels or a good hose down or so I've heard

I was thinking of white NT0+3 on my Ultramarine

I had white wheels once, and never will again. You think owning a black car is hard to keep clean? Ha!!

I have not. Its winter soon so stockies are going to need winter tires first then I'll need time to save for them but I got quoted 18x8 +35 with Star specs for $24xx

All these comments from past owners of white wheels isnt making me feel too good about it now though haha

Maybe I'm go silver and plastic-dip them white...

I had white wheels on my 911 and loved them. I'm tempted to change out the wheels on my firestorm and I'll either go chrome or white. I haven't decided yet.
