The way it looks in the picture is as though the wheels are on the car, but you've done a track day or so=imilar, therefore the front ones are covered in brake dust, what's thre point in getting white, surely they'll just get dirty quicker????

Needs new pads ron, the ones on are sh17e. I havent done any trackdays.. When you drive an evo you find yourself useing the brakes quite abit.

I'm not bothered about it getting dirty as i wash it all the time anyway at least twice a week.

Personally I wouldnt go White on Yellow.

If I were top buy new rims for that car they would be Black with a polished lip.. To give you the idea of what I mean...

I know what your saying hpi but black rims aint my cup of tea. Dark chrome like the ones above yes but totally black? not for me.

I am pushed towards white as the look really classy to me. As regards the compomotive my mate has some so it's a bit silly gertting the same rims.

I would like to see them on the car - I think they will be fine

get some Greenstuff pads to keep the brake dust down
They may keep the brake dust down but you will be changing them every time you brake

Red face

too big, it will ruin the handling, looks like a max power special too! This is a car honed for rallying on the stages, not for slammin it outside halfords.
