I think you should go flat black, but thats just what i would do... Do what makes the car look good to you, because ultimately you are the one that has to live with it. GL, post pics when you get em done!

I like white wheels on a white car! But keeping them clean is going to be a good bit of work.

went down to powder coater today thier Pw is very very close to car paint.they said the same thing about brake dust.semi gloss black or satin were my frist choices but wife didnt like the look but it is my car.I guess i'll think it over for a few days before I decide.I like satin black with the lugs and center cap tinted red.

have seen options to use plastic dip? It comes in white and you can take it off no problems...

some of the local owners are experimenting with this now.. check it out..

sorry but I don't dig white or black rims. If anything, gunmetal/silver Volks look best on our PW's. Just my 2 cents.

White wheels only look good when clean. Good luck keeping them clean.
