Ive currently got some white mono comps on the 206 quiksilver (15") but white is a nightmare to keep clean, i was thinking about getting them powdercoated in anthracite like these www.rimstyle.com/data/...arge/1.jpg
Yay or Nay?

True, white does look good but only when its superclean and its such hardwork keeping them like that. i think i will just get them done in that colour

Cleaning your car (white wheels) every 2nd week isn't that hard work???
Otherwise you must get better cleaning technique and/or products.
I like your white wheels

I like your white wheels | Cape town is a little different to the UK.
I had white wheels and after a while they do look pretty bad and just look faded unless they have just been cleaned.

Jake, I'd clean them comps every 2nd day just to keep them clean just so they were clean, but even then they weren't spot on.

Yip on my red 180. They look great in black. They not on at the moment as I am saving up for some nice sticky tyres to go with the Team Dynamics. And I just love white rims so much
