I'll be honest.... I'm surprised I like those white wheels. Usually I don't.... it may be because most (if not all) I've seen to this point were huge 22", 24" etc wheels that just looked tacky. Those look great..... good job.

Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words. I hope you all are enjoying your car just as much as I am. If you're ever around Delaware or Philadelphia let me know.
WOW...this looks great!

The white wheels look great! Way back in the late 80's I bought my ex an all white Supra with white wheels and trim. I can tell you that those wheels were not a hard to keep clean as the chrome wheels on my C5 or my C6. If the powdercoating is done right you'll turn a lot of heads for a long time. Love it!!

Yup definitely another look. I can't wait to see what body kits come out...they could completely change the look vs just a lip

My opinion is that litumup411's version looks much better than the s4 (KaMis) version.

Very nice! Had factory painted white wheels on my '94 Pontiac Firebird Formula and loved the look.
