Default What do you think? New wheel color

Well, i have been thinking about it for a while and i love white wheels so i went for it and painted mine over the weekend. They aren't 100% where i want them yet, but the weather has been sh!tty so they are going to stay like this till i can clear them and wet sand.

I want your thoughts, the good, the bad, etc. Lemme know what you think i can change.

Keep the lip? Paint the lip?

Ya, thats one of the things that made me do it. I love how they look on a blue car. Obviously the pics of the white aren't the best as it was raining, the car was filthy and it's a cell pic lol but i wanted to see what everyone thinks

Why not strip the paint altogether and go for a polished look? That'd look cool too

No tint. it's not tinted on purpose. Why do the ONE thing every single car does? I have my tint strip and my rear window is blacked out. Other than that, it is just asking for a ticket out here.

What did you like about them better? Is it just the professional pics you liked better?

Eventually i will get the newer headlights. It's not on my priorities list though. I have other things i would rather spend 2 bills on for the car. And i have a DDM HID kit in the car which i love. I have had DDM in all my cars.

Just my opinion, but the original rim color blends with style and white going to some work to keep clean, you know it's going to bug you.

HIDs in reflector headlights? Doesn't that just blind other drivers? An illegal?

Illegal? Maybe, i have driven by many cops and they haven't done anything and the cops here will ticket any tuner they can.

I know the white is going to be a pain to keep clean, but as it is i wash my car at least once a week so it's cool with me.

Leave the lip as is it looks good like that. The white reflects off the lip and as for the tint thing. I can't be without tint, i feel naked without it. I can't roll around fish tank status man.
