I'd go with the white wheels. I'm not a big fan of black wheels. they kind of disappear in the wheel well and tire. the white wheels look much better to me.

On the other hand, if you plan to track the car, the black looks much more intimidating. BTY, I think white will turn more heads.

WHAT????? How can the Track car look intimidating if it looks like it is sitting on BLOCKS with no wheels and just been vandalized?

I think I would get tired of the all white look and trying to keep the white wheels looking good all the time may be a chore.

I would go with a polished/chrome or machine faced wheel if it were my car.

I've had white wheels before. Dust them off regularly with a California car duster and you won't have a problem.

yep---kinda like shrimp & grits, formerly a common supper for backwoods coastal folk that didn't have anything else. Now a featured premium dinner at fine restaurants!

ddman...as a proud owner of a triple white 1988 35th anniversary model, I have to vote for the white rims. However, a bottle of Sonax wheel cleaner will become a favorite for you to have in your wash bucket.

You called them shoes. Lame. And you bashed chrome. Again lame.

Holy cow, these "articles" are BAD. Just terrible. Who do I have to talk to about the just poor quality? Seriously not one person should be proud of those "front page articles."

I'd be embarrassed and wouldn't post them in threads at all.
