White powder coated stockers?

I thought about powder coating my wheels white. Anyone have this done? If so post up some pics!

Yeah I saw that. Whooooo! Anyone else? I'd like some more clear pics from different angles if they're out there. Surely there is.

It would look damn good, especially on a white Camaro. But, you will absolutely hate the maintenance of white wheels, as brake dust turns them a rust colored brown after only a few miles on the road. They also tend to attract road tar more than most. Gets annoying to wipe that stuff off the white finish.

I ran white CCW wheels on my Viper for a few months.

I liked looking at them when clean, absolutely HATED cleaning them when dirty. The insides of the barrels get terrible looking, especially if they get wet with brake dust on them.

Thanks for the pic. I really like that look.

Damn Tony I didn't know you had those wheels on your Viper. I don't think I've ever seen that combo before. Looks killer. The only thing I'm worried about is like you said, the maintenance. At least the stock wheels are easy to clean. It's not my daily driver either. A good powder coat will make wiping them down pretty easy too. Maybe I can keep the inner barrels dark to make things easier?

Outers being white I could live with. Definitely leave inner barrels bare as-is.
