anyone paint factory wheels white?

[landcruisers4ever]

Im wondering how it will look,alot of people go black but never white..or any other color. Does anyone out there have the same color combo LX as me who has painted their wheels any color, just looking for some options, heres a pic of my rig to help. Thanks in advance.

I've thought about going white with mine but they're hard to keep clean with the brake dust. I still think they look good when they are clean. You should do it.

I think white would really look nice on your rig.

the front brakes on an 80 produce quite a bit of brake dust...
personally, after having white rims on a previous car, I'd rather stick with black...


but if white floats your boat and you don't mind keeping them clean, I say go for it.

You can paint them, or have them powder coated in just about any color, is a matter of your taste. Remember the white spoke wheels?

Bleah. Looks cheap, like when people put those crap aftermarket double wiper blades of different colors on cars in the 80s and 90s. Plus, Zero to filthy in 30 seconds flat.

On a side note a joke:

Q: Know how Snoop Dogg gets his whites so white?








A: Bleeeotch.

Looks, better than I thought it would! I think it helps with them being LX wheels with the groove in the middle of the spoke.

I think they look pretty good for stock rims.

One issue I have with white paint is that there are several different variations of white. If the rig itself is white, it's quite a challenge to get the colors to match. If they don't match, then, at least to me, it doesn't look quite right.
