Which should I go with?
Ok, I'm probably going to paint the FB white. Like a nice pearl white.
I stripped the paint off of one of my wheels, and am debating either repainting them all black, matching the pearl white when I get the whole car done, or polishing the ever loving **** out of them and leaving them be. Now, mind you, that's a quick strip job... There's still some black in the mesh, and it's not polished yet.
What do you guys think?
Here's plain:

Or perhaps Hades12 or CamoCarl (I think that's his name).
Are those LE wheels or something else?

I have a 323 GTX with white rims/white body. The car looks great until you move it more than 300ft and touch the brakes once or twice. Brake dust on white rims=never ending battle. And mine are 5 spoke wheels, you have the mesh to clean. Definitely go black.

How'd you strip the rims? I have the EXACT same ones you do! Mine are black with a polished lip, but I want to strip them and do it correctly... just curious on what you used to do the job. And I'm missing my center caps too... if you come across someone selling anything that fits, LMK - thanks mang.
BTW, my vote goes to leaving them black and polishing the lip. That's what I'm doing with mine.
Oh... and DAMN, that white car is sharp looking!
