I think the white would get just as dirty as the chrome...the only advantage to the white, is that the brake dust wont stick as much being its pc/painted...a lil windex and its gone...ive just been debating to either just rechrome them or do the pearl white/polished thing...the hottest thing out right now is the painted/chrome-polished wheel combo.

I think it might look good, if you were to just paint the small inner spoke of the wheels


Dont think it would change how dirty it got becuase it would just be a small strip of white

just the spokes/slash inner part of the wheel would be white...the lip, center cap and rivets would all be polished.

I did, he said he would be iffy on matching the exact color and that the lip would have to be polished prior to him doing them...the place that is doing mine said that as long as i bring them my paint, they will match it and they do all the polishing.

i say don't do a color match... white wheels look tacky and cheap IMO... since you'll be investing some money in it, i say look into doing bronze, gold, or black.

I'm sure they'll get very dirty from brake dust. If you do it, you'll have to be willing to keep those clean all the time.

not sure if its colrmatched of just the white powdercoating HRE offers, i believe the lip is polished but i think HRE offers chrome lips as an option...can't remember who's car that is, i've had that picture saved forever

Im not concerned with the whole color match thing, i just want the lip to be nice and shiney almost like chrome...i know some polished wheels look like chrome while others dont.

I don't understand why you need to bring them a quart of your paint if they are going to be powdercoated? Powedercoating uses POWDER, not paint and is baked on. Sounds like they plan on painting the wheels using the paint you provide, which means they can't guarantee JACK! They didn't mix the paint so they cant tell you if the match is going to be perfect, likely if it doesn't match they'll blame it on your paint guy for not mixing is correctly. The paint will also not be very durable, and will likely get chipped over time, just like your car paint, only worse.
