Nice man. Don't paint them white, go either gunmetal or black (but you don't want to do that).

Post some under the hood pics, looks clean.

I'm probably going to put some black steelies on my car this july when I move so it doesn't get jacked since I'm moving into the ghetto. those wheels are worth a little more than you paid for them.

I like them the way they are, but black is boss in my mind. I got polished lip/gunmetal rotas so I say go with gunmetal. Oh yea, go to Wal*Mart and get that rim paint. If you do it right they look GOOD!!!! Seriously, I think my buddy even cleared his too, but I'm not positive. His were gunmetal to he painted them that color I mean. Looks good too. Post pics when there on homie!!!
