White Wheels: Help And Post Pics!!
Yes. I think they have many more powdercoats. Here are more pictures if you're interested.




Though, i'm thinking about getting these now...

Those are 17x10's. I'm pretty sure they're going to fit with my ride height (Stock Sports Suspension). If i'll be running 17x10 all around, i'll just buy one for now and make sure it even fits my car, haha!

Those were on my list of possible wheels.
White Wheel Washing
Of course, there is extra trouble washing white wheels, but I really don't mind. I use a 'baby bottle washer' named Born Free. It is really just a sponge on a stick, but one that fits my wheel perfectly. I can get to most of the wheel backside without taking the tire off.
About $11 (internet) to $15 (Babies R Us store). The only bottle brush I know of that is actually a sponge and not a brush. Put a couple drops of Dawn on it, dip in a bucket of water, and go for it !
PS: Love that Black and White above !

Sorry for re-viving an old thread. I just ordered white wheels and was wondering how you guys keep them clean?
I was thinking of keeping some kind of spray in the garage that I can spray & wipe them off with paper towels every couple of days between washes to keep them clean?
Suggestions?

I know people will slam me, but I run white holies and "KleenWheels" brake dust covers for the street. Wheels stay clean for weeks! 60k miles on oem rotors, no problem with warping. Take covers off for track, Dragon, etc. By the way some people claim I drive kinda fast. Please check out my gallery.
White wheel cleaning
Soap and water, yes. Here's my twist:
Buy the baby bottle brush called Born Free. This is essentially a sponge on a stick. Babies R Us or similar store.
Sit on a milk carton in front of the wheel. Put a drop of liquid dish soap on the sponge, dip in, and wash the wheel. With this method, you can easily reach way back and wash most of the backside of the wheel from the front.
Not had good luck coating the painted wheel with different types of waxes. They don't last long.
Although after I wash the wheel, I use a little wax on a rag to rub out spots, instead of using a rubbing compound, which will eventually remove a little paint.

If you never lowered your car, I would look at adding some TSW springs. They work well with OEM shocks and ride well, all while closing some wheel gap. If you are definitely switching shocks too, I would like to recommend some Koni Yellows, but I have not installed mine yet so hard for me to suggest them to you! This spring, if I don't get some coilovers, I will be adding these shocks to the mix and I will have a full write for you guys!
The best thing you can do to reduce the brake dust is to replace the brake pads. (I use Hawk ceramic pads.) if you are not tracking the car, you'll be ok. Instead of wiping them down everyday, it's just once a week. Also use a good wheel wax.
I should've posted a photo sooner...
