Should I do it?

Im contemplating painting my rims white. I have always wanted to paint them black but I kind of wanted to go with something different. Im in the middle of messing with my car and I had my old broken rim and decided to spray it white to see what it looks like. So tell me what you guys think about it and excuse the mess of the car lol its going under reconstruction.

I actually never been a big fan of white wheels, but it looks pretty good on your car.

i think black is kinda plain and been done way to much, but the white looks really good on your car. but it would absolutely suck to clean them, especially since it will be painted....

If I were you I wouldn't paint the whole rim white, maybe just the spokes, leave the rest the silver alloy color. But like slvrr said it is going to be tough to keep white rims clean. I used to have white rims and it drove me nuts, I had to clean them all the time

Wow dude, everybody seems to be jumping on the white wheels lately hahha. Anyways, I think it looks good, I LOVE white wheels on pretty much any color ( as all of my posts in other threads say ahhaa). But they look really good, I say do it!!!

look for my thread i have white wheels. very hard to keep clean as im sure youve figured. but when they are clean it looks great. silver on white looks great when its done right.imo it comes down to the wheel selection.

Oh wow, it's like you read my mind. I have a AS with the same fenders painted exactly like yours and up until a couple months ago had planned to powder coat my p45r's white.. However I ended up buying some Enkei RC-T4's in silver instead.. So I'm sure you already know my opinion.. Do it!

FYI- White rims are a pain.... They look great right after you clean them but as soon as you drive your car down the road they're nasty agian. I'm a bit OCD but I thought I'd warn you.

Not gonna look right. That silver + white is going to look off in 1000 different ways. I will admit though, in the picture it looks like it would look good, but please dont do it.

I personally think White rims on silver is a good combination.
