Hey Jeepers,

Sorry can't help you with the white wheels but you might consider posting in the general C4 forum - your post will get a lot more views than it will here.

buy the 5 spoke wheels and have them painted or powder coated.

Some of the companies that sell A-Molds will also powdercoat them. Mine were purchased from a company out of California. Don't know the company though, I bought them used.
Fair Warning though, they are a pain in the a** to keep clean.

If you decide on white wheels, I hope you enjoy cleaning them.

They look great on that red posted above, but I would hate to have to keep them clean.

I reckon they would probably look **** hot on a dark red too, if you post a pic ill see if i can do some editing for you. As far as cleaning goes, youre lucky your car is red!! my 87 was red, and clean or dirty,it always looked good(obviously better when just polished!) The white car shows up everybit of dust and dirt regardless of colour!!.

I can imagine! Especially the insides. At least the powdercoat (+clearcoat?) is durable and can be wiped down. Most chrome wheels onn the otherhand, have a bare or etched surface behind the spokes.. and all kinds of garbage sticks to it and doesn't come off.

In fact that whole cars looks like a bitch to keep clean. But it's worth it!! Now if you hated yourself even more, you could repaint it black.

Thanks, and the scale model is a die cast of a 1996 Coupe that had Tan Interior. I took it apart a painted the interior white. Unfortunately, they did not make a die cast of the 1993.
