i went looking for white rims today and i was told that i shouldn't bother with them because they will become stained/ so hard to clean..

is this true at all? or if i wash them regularly they wont become like that.


really want a set but dont want them to eventually turn black

I have a set of white powdercoated rims. They were on the car for 12 months - they didn't stain or anything but f*ck were they a bitch to keep clean! :D If you are prepared to wash them at least once a week to keep the brake dust of them, then they'll be fine.

i got black rims and they are a bitch to clean cos the black paint shows out the pollen and grass in my area : ( but go to autobarn and buy a spray can of "degreaser" and its allllllllll good

WHite rims aren't as bad as people say. Being white, they stand out a lot more, hence you gotta get them pretty dirty before the white looses its appeal :)
