hmmm white does go well with red but so does black, it should look good either way so dont fret but for convenience of cleaning etc go black

A white car is bad enough to keep clean, but I think keeping white wheels clean alone would make me suicidal.

White wheels are lovely, just give them a really good coat of rim wax and they clean just as easily as the rest!

Is it true white is best color for bodywork cos it shows defects less....?

Wax doesn't stop the burnt in brake disc metal getting ingrained though

Maybe I should use less abrasive pads again, but the last time I did that, they glazed and screwed up the ABS (no brakes).

Our local B&M do a range of spray paints suitable for wheels (it says on the tin) for a couple of quid

On a red car, you need white alloys.

Hate black alloys
