You must be a glutton for punishment if you want to paint your wheels any shade of white...

negative ghostrider....... my neighbor has a white CLS with White asanti rims, it looks good, but he is constantly cleaning his rims, probably more often then me. But it does look decent on deep lipped rims

considering the amount of brake dust an is350 spits out, i think it'd be a hassle to have white wheels.

White on white is hard. I'd rather go white on black.

Have the TSB brake replacement done. I just had mine done this past Friday, it makes ALL the difference! Not a big change in stopping power either, but then again I drive pretty easily.

If you have that brake dust problem and hate cleaning your wheels constantly, I recommend it. It is free you know.

I've seen this on one of our members cars (not 20s but the color match)... match wasn't 100% but it still looked pretty good. I wouldn't have ever done it based on my imagination of what the outcome would be, but it was very sharp in person.

This is the only picture I have.

looks terrible in my oppinion. makes it look like a very cheap plastic toy.

the only color matching i like is black on black or a graphite on graphite.
