Best place for white wheels

Hey folks,

Who knows the best place to get white wheels. Tire Rack doesn't seem to carry any.

White wheels source

Haven't used them yet, but noticed they have what your looking for.

Good luck.

Motor on.

Two options for tirerack.com wheels. First call Alex and ask him what the options are for white wheels for the MINI, maybe there are some new wheels for the future. Next, you can buy any silver finish wheels from tirerack and powdercoat them white for about $40-60 each.


White finish is available for Rota wheels at 18racing.com and for Panasport wheels.

I found the wheels I wanted and because they were not available in white, had them powder coated. See my gallery.

Apexer those look real nice. How much did the powder coat set you back? Is the finish pretty durable...I mean I know how durable powder coat is in general, but now about powder coat over a previously finished surface.

Cost per wheel was $35.00. Finish looks great and, so far seems quite durable

Thanks. Was done by a local powder coating shop (actually about 60 miles away) Bridgeville, PA. They still look great

I've got the Team Dynamics Pro Racing One (17's). Got mine at America's Tire Company, in Oregon, and had to have them special order them. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...00&ppuser=4179
