it's true that white wheels are harder to keep clean but they look so much better when they are

another pic of mine , check out the difference in colour of front and rear wheel . that was from driving 150 miles




left home after a clean , drove to stratford, filthy lol

tiny gsy, we seem to have pretty much the same plans. I originally wanted a Type R (white) and I was going to build a 22B replica (flared arches, bumper etc...) but I got a good deal on this Type RA, so couldn't resist.

scoobyDAZZA, your car looks great with and without the graphics! You gonna have the same gold graphics again? I know how you feel with the white rims getting dirty, its madness!

Novtec1, thanks mate. I've made my descision thanks to this thread... I'll be leaving them white for now. I think the red flaps would look a little strange if I painted the rims gold.

MazingerZ, you'r right about white getting dirty! Its rediculous!
The poll is 60% Gold and 40% White.
I'll play with photoshop and see how they rims would look gold with the red flaps.

Bit of a rough job, but here they are in black. It doesn't look too bad. I'd probably have them done a little lighter than this.

Thanks allot guys!

pnbond007, your car looks great with black rims! Also like how the callipers match your flaps... Speaking of which, did you drill a hole for the front flap? I tried to fit mine yesterday but ran into a bit of trouble and didn't really know if the frame was thick enough for me to tap it and use a bolt. I've been trying to find a thread with instruction but haven't really found a good guide.
