Tough call between the white and gunmetal. White just looks faster. :wink:

I like the white as well. If you want to protect them after, I suggest some of this stuff. Gtechniq. http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/ex ... el-armour/

I too like the white. Just may be a bitch to keep clean.


I would have to vote white, too.

You know what's a bitch to keep clean? Ultraleggeras.
I hate washing rims.

Forgot that the pooparus stis are good bbs wheels. Good point. I do like the white more and more though. The black I'm now opposed to either. I've got some gloss white powder in the garage. I may need to do a wheel this weekend and see how it turns out.

Black looks good too from that angle, but everyone has black wheels. Go white!

Maybe I'm biased though...

That was my exact thought. The gold and bronze make it look too subarooooooo.

Ill whip up an almond tomorrow. I'd have to get normal almond though cause what I did the bay in I used wrinkle, and its awful to try and keep clean....which is why I actually redid this past winter because it was so awful to clean.

New color for this year...driftwood something or other

Cool. Do you mean if I call my local Napa and give them these numbers they will be able to get me some for reasonable money? Like how much?

these were the only two in existence that i could find. and like i said, ive had this part number i found for a few months just checking the system a few times a week. they go over the counter for a random walk-in guy for $317 a pop, but theres a $95 core deposit if you dont have old ones as well.
