Cool Joining the WWC (white wheel club)

Decided to take the plunge and go white

I will be picking up a set of wheels off Ian on Saturday that need a refurb so been umming and arrring over colour. Decided tonight that White is the way forward to brake the black up. Wheel sealant at the ready

Calv, why dont you photoshop a load of different colour wheels onto your car, be a shame for you to get them refurbed white and you end up not liking them. I'm sure they'll look good but just incase

Green would've been nice, thought about white when I changed but couldn't be bothered cleaning them every day.

I know what you mean Rich. But the car looks too Black at the minute so needs a splash of colour. There will be ALOT of wheel sealant on them

It'll look great with a splash of colour, especially if you go for the other changes.

Personally I'd never go for white wheels, I despised the blessed things they needed to be cleaned after every journey.

I would go for Porsche racing orange as a wheel colour as when you had the track set fitted they did look good.

Well they are Speedlines

I dont mind dirty wheels as long as they come up nice when they are given a wash. They will only be washed at shows
