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.
stained is the look y0.
u should see my BLACK rims after one week....altho...its been about 4 months since ive cleaned them and they are a nice almsot bronze colour .... tricking people to think my rp01's came in this colour bwhahahaha.
U think white rims are hard to clean.
TRY CLEANING G ZERO CHROME RIMS !!!
You think G-Zero's are hard to clean?
try cleaning polished Mugen MR-5's !
the gaps are so small :(
bah you all complain too much bout clearing rims! go hire a weekly personal cleaner ! hehe j/k :p
lol, u guys r funny :D
i got white ctr rims, they never stain... i've left them without cleaning for a few months and a good wheel cleaner will get all the brake dust and any gunk out easy, no sweat...
btw, white rims r hot! :thumbsup:
white rims are bugger to clean, need to be clean once a week at least.
I got black rims now haha, can't see any dust on them :D
its not hard cleaning white wheels.... just annoiying.... cuz jus as soon as you clean it.... you drive abit... and its dirty already!!!
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 :)
my mate 28rag carries a rag in his car. whenever he pulls up he just gets it out an gives his white rims a once over. lookin good!
mmm... white wheels
