Just got them.




Hard to keep clean, but I plan to wash these often.

There are some pics of mine in my gallery. They are kinda crappy pics (but with great subject matter), most are cell phone pics.

BTW, Xman, that really looks good!

They take some work keeping them clean, but worth it IMO

Such a coincidence. SayGoodbye is selling a set of white S-lites on NAM.

Here is a pic of my white wheels...they look great but after an hour of driving they're coated with brake dust. Can be a real pita to keep clean but for it's worth it for the look.

That is true, white wheels IMO do look very nice, but with white wheels it's not a win-win situation

You can see my Team Dynamics rims by clicking on my gallery link. As mentioned by others, they're
a pain to keep clean, but well worth it when you do.

Whenever I want to see new tires on Butters, I head over to www.Tirerack.com & use their "see on your car" feature.

You can try on all the styles & colors. I was playing there today & saw these...


Just for an example from their website; I know they aren't white...but Butters's doesn't do white it's fun to try on new shoes.

Cuddakine, are those trailer wheels or from Summit Racing? Do you really run them? Do you run centering hub rings?

Maybe I should get the hubcentric rings, that might help but I'm pretty sure my shop told me all four are slightly bent/warped. Not perfectly straight. These are diamond racing wheels, pro dot approved, 15x10 et12. I'll post a side picture once I get on my computer.

I'm also looking for new wheels. White wheels may be a pita to keep clean but, they sure a have a nice appearance with the chili red w/white top. Keep posting your photos!! Some of you have great looking white wheels... I need more white wheels !!
