White on White - Yay or Nay?
My goal for the wheels was to powdercoat spokes black and dish white... tried doing it with plastidip but got lazy and never finished. I think that is still my plan but I don't hate this lol

What do you guys think?? I got my flamesuit on, fire away

I'm on the fence, but I think the powder coated white goes better than the chrome.

Agree. If the options are chrome or white for the car, the white is working for me

I Like both...Not for sure which is better. I like the chrome with the Black but then again the White wheels kinda pops to...very tough decision...

I think black would look best, but we all have our own style!

I'm digging the white. I think that side stripe breaks up the white enough. Very cool look which you don't see everyday.

I like it! I think I like the chrome a little more though. I've been thinking about powder coating mine white. How does the white plasti dip look up close? I've got a can or two laying around.

Wow.... Usually am not a fan of these, but for some reason, I like it. Lol. I think this would only work if white. For example if that was kona, that would look retarded lol

I agree with the white also. But to me it looks like you need more sidewall on those tires. They seem awfully low profile and therefore awfully short to me.

Looks great but has a little of that fuzzy feel when you touch it... I did mine with 4 cans

Tires (with ~85% tread) came with the wheels... definitely can't wait for more sidewalls and 305s in rear!
