    After looking close up at that one, the wheels might look better silver, but I have a bodykit and skirts on mine so might look a bit better on my Saxo not too sure though.

    You can put some protective shit on them so it all just runs of and doesn't stick

    betty i hope you didnt drive off with the locking wheel nut still attached as in your pics
    
    Does look well, better than i though, definetly do it, and tbh white wheels are easy to clean tbh black cars show dirt so quick i imagine youll need to clean car by time the wheels look really manky nehow
