Thread: white rims

  1. #1

    white rims

    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! If you are prepared to wash them at least once a week to keep the brake dust of them, then they'll be fine.

    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
