:smt011 :smt011 Just my opinion, but I've never seen a set of white wheels I liked. But it's your car, so if you like it, do it.

The ONLY white wheel I would roll (pardon the pun):

Make a deal with a tint shop tint your back window and you can do the doors yourself. It's not difficult, you can buy precut tint on ebay that works really well. I had some on my old BD, looked great. $40 for a set of tint, pay the tint shop $50 for labor?

Sand down your stock lugs and hit them with some good paint, then use a thin cloth over them anytime you take the wheels off so your lug wrench doesn't scratch them up.

Wheels are easy to do, $8 for some engine paint and a few more for some clear, some sandpaper and degreaser.

$40 for a rebalance of the wheels (because you don't want to paint your wheel weights!).

TOTAL estimate $150

or you could do tints yourself, and save even more i've done my tints a few times already and everytime i do it looks better and better, and it cost about 50 for the hole car for tint.

White wheels look good, but you have to keep them clean or they will start to turn a brownish color from brake dust..

I dunno if id go with white snowflakes, but a while 5 spoke wheel would look good.
