The CCW wheels go great with the white stripes. Why be normal (polished/chrome) when you can be different (white)? Excellent choice!:beer:

I think the major hesitation would be keeping them clean...but if you've had white wheels before and liked them, you'd know better than anyone else. And if you made that choice twice, I think the rest should be quiet on the cleanliness issue.

As far as looks, practicality aside, I think they look great.

No offense to others....but...FINALLY someone else chooses a different color besides polished or black. :D Unfortunately mine was powdercoated silver, but I really like the choice in the white. I am usually not a fan of pure white rims...but yours look really nice and makes the car stand out in a crowd. Keep them clean and have fun.

If these were simply painted white, they would be much more difficult to keep clean. But, since these are powdercoated, they resist stains and scratches, as well as most chemicals. Brake dust just sticks to them like typical road dust, it wipes right off with a microfiber towel. They are actually much easier to maintain than bare polished wheels, since they do not get water spots or dull. They never need to be polished or sealed :2tu:

Like the stocks better, but you have some balls to go all out like that. A little too much white, but still a bad ass ride fursure.

In about a week or so, the Paxton and exhaust system will be installed. Then it will run as fast as it looks :)

You've got bigger kahoonas than me. I would have never tried it, but you pulled it off and they look great. Congrats on one sick looking ride.
