Sorry can't help with the pic, but had a friend who had a red clio with white wheels and it looked very rally slag.

He actually didn't like it after he had bought them, but it certainly was different. (I liked it)

original? Can't believe it hasnt been done more!

They look awesome. Especially with big 312mm brakes poking out the fronts

(http://www.fiatforum.com/imaging/110761-photoshop-request.html) a photoshop done. Not by me, which is lucky cos I dont have the first clue!

On a side note, is that a normal FR bumper and does it fit bolt for bolt with a sport?

Edit: I've just noticed a hole for exhaust, would make a mufflerectomy more expensive!

Dave,

Stop being a chav and thinking of white wheels! :p

The rear bumper is the Cupra one, same as mine. Its now fitted to MY07 FRs to spice it up a bit.

Thought I reconised the bumper. I do like, but hidden zorst and mufflerectomy just sounds so easy.

White wheels aren't too chav, too rare to be chav really. A lot more chrome or black wheels out there (not saying saying those peeps are chavs!)

Now, when I paint my brakes calipers red is a different story! (I just admire your brakes Tom!)

My best mate was gonna get his VX220 wheels done black today, managed to persuaded him to get them done silver again. Don't know why they need repainting, they're mint! I just think white multispokes are a bit tired, that look went out many years ago. They could work, I just prefer silver :)

I think its on its way back in, silver looks great on a nice set of alloys. I even have a soft spot for some chromes. But with white cars will come white wheels, just watch!

Funny you mention this, my standard 16's FR wheels might be getting done white :) Failing that I have a set of 16 Sport wheels that are dying to be done white... either way my Red beeza will have white wheels im thinking mostly for track days :)

I think red and white would be a great colourscheme to follow inside the car as well, white is gonna be hard to keep clean though!

i would consider it long term though. A lot of the Mini guys have White wheels as it was a no cost option on Cooper S's, looks great when new, and BMW were quite definate on what colours could have em, and Red was one of those colours, But be warned they stain very easyily, and loads of the Mini owners have had to refurb very regularly as even with weekly cleaning the brake dust wheel stain the wheels, white wheels with yellow gunky bits look awful, and get so dirty so quickly.

Why not consider a mat grey, or go the oppsite and go for a bright silver with a more motorsport look, even mat silvery grey

Shouldn't be too many problems keeping them clean, my dad is a professional car valeter so he has pretty much all the cleaning stuff you can get.

Has anyone on here actually do it? And do any other wheels look good in white apart from the OZs?
