white wheels are pointless for daily road cars. far too much cleaning needed.

black wheels are much easier to maintain, and also don't blind people in the sun.

I agree with you to a point lol. You'll have to clean and slick those tyres to stop them going that shitty gray colour just as often as you'd need to clean white wheels.

I agree about White wheels tbh. If I used my car daily I swear I'd go mad at how quickly they get dirty

Looking out the window across the car park at my black wheels that haven't been washed for 3 weeks and I can see the design on them quite clearly. It's only in photos that it can be hard to see them and thats probably down to my poor photography skills/camera

I didn't used to like black wheels as you could never see them properly when people posted photos but when you see them for real you realise its just the photos that are bad.

Red 197's look good with black wheels, ge the sprint spoiler though, rather than the horrible chavvy looking cup spoiler.

Although that cup spoiler might suit your blue peter baby image

how often do you find customers returning due to stone chips with painted wheels, as opposed to a more durable powdercoating?

Look stunning. Top picture gives you an idea why white would be a bad idea.

I do have to say my powdercoated wheels are much more durable than my painted ones.
