Wow, thanks for the opinions and photoshops! I really like it still. I just don't feel like keeping it clean that often. I have always loved white on white and even white on red. I would never get a white car because of its difficulty to keep clean, but who knows, maybe SRP is the same. It's just as I suspected, no one else or not too many have that combination. Keep the posts comin, thanks again!

You should definitely go play around with the wheels at http://www.tirerack.com to get some more ideas.

You're going to clean silver ones as much as white. Charcoal/gunmetal might be a nice option if you want to reduce maintenance and still have something different.

One last thought...if you keep the front face of the wheel white and have the rest of the wheel (inside the 'legs' or 'spokes') painted the same red as the xb, it might also reduce your maintenance. Maybe not...just a thought. Like this, where the inside of the spokes are painted dark:


At least they'd be easier to clean without showing the spots you missed!

Actually, a white car stays cleaner looking longer than a dark color. Dust and dirt is actually grayish colored.
It's the white wheels that get dirty quickly.

I had white wheels on my BCP and liked them for awhile but ended up stripping them and did them in a machined/BSP color instead.
