White wheels are like white shoes... hood idea but not to many can pull it off.

I personally hate white wheels on 90%the of the cars I see them on... but those ra wheels are sick.

Yeah even before I bought my car, I was really thinking about buying this car



But it had a front end collision (with snow), had way too many miles and he was asking a bit too much for it. Still, I want my car to look like that. Eventually.

To each his own... I like the wheels. Like the lip. Don't like the blue with black and then with white. They stick out like a sore thumb. Though I like them more than I would like gold on that particular car. I'd rather see black wheels on that car.

Either that or maybe a body painted lip and remove all the pink sti bits so it's just the blue and white. Can't hate on it though. Clean car.

I'd drool on those wheels on my white wagon. I nearly made a move on a set... I think they were the ones off that car... but he wanted a bit much for them and I couldn't bring myself to run white wheels... and if I painted those people would hate me. LOL!

That's why I moved away from my V7 JDM wheels. It's a crime to paint those things any other color but the stock gold and I really wanted something different.


Then I ended up with gold wheels. LOL. least it's a different gold and I won't feel bad if I paint these gram lights. I really want black wheels or I have an idea for an odd version of olive drab. Just something different but not obvious. Been kicking around drab, a dark brown color and an odd gray.

And black with a slight twist. But I'm not gonna bother until my engine blows and the car is gonna be down. Right now I'm fine with the lighter gold.

Should I get some of that butyl rubber sealant or some sort of silicone for resealing the headlights just in case? What grit sandpaper?

Also what's a better black for headlights? Gloss, satin or matte?
