Td pro race 1.2
Lcr 18" wheels
Rota grid
Your options are endless

But white will be tough to keep clean and looking good

I would use caution with some of the Rota wheels, I had a couple of sets of RB's on my MX5's, as have some friends.

All of us experienced issues with the finish on them and the polished lips corroding within a year or so, I don't think the same issue will occur with fully painted rims though. But it certainly made me think twice about getting more.

I've had a set of Cades Eros before and really liked them, plus they stood up well to grime.

I currently have my eye on some Cades Bern wheels.

any chrome or polished rims imo require preping and protection to put up with general use.
BMW alloys had issues for years, they spent a small fortune replacing alloys affected.

Then there is how we treat them, - for example using supermarket/hand washing businesses that use chemicals that are great at achieving a clean in a short time, but have nasty affects to alloys etc as they are agressive chemicals. not to mention winter driving with salt etc.
use some alloy wheel / hard wax for protection and reapply regularly.

having said all this, in this case it appears this will be down to the preperation and painting of the wheels and correct type of paint/laquer used.
 
I like the purple ! It's different ! I just need to save some money so I can start treating my car
