Photo Request - Laser Blue MCS, White Top, White Crown Spokes.

In the market for a new MCS and am curious what the Laser Blue with white top, white bonnet stripes, looks like with the White Crown Spokes. I am weary of white wheels, but if it looks good to me, I will be willing to clean them every night.

Thanks in advance.

Mine has white Bridge Spokes (photos in my gallery if you want to see those) but it seems like there are photos of Laser Blues with white Crown Spokes all over the place. I even found a video:

White RIMS

I ordered the white crown spoke and now it worries me. I see coopers with a lot of brake dust on their front tires. I have a beemer now and it seems to be a common issue. Does anyone know of a good way to keep them clean besides the obvious just wash em method?

When I bought my MCS, it had crown wheels on it. They were temporary until the ones on it now came in (dealer take offs)

By the time they came in, I really got used to the crown spokes. I had decided that I was going to keep them and paint them white.

Point is, now that I have had the car for a few months, I'm glad I didn't keep the crown wheels and paint them white.

They look great but what a PIA to keep clean.
