Default Painted my PD's white

I just painted my phone dials white last week. These are my track rims -- so this is the only time I'm ever going to see them actually white. So I figured I'd post pictures.

I know it's stupid to paint track rims bright colors because of brake dust, but I'm partial to white phonies.

I think you messed up your picture order, but they look good white.

It's actually the right order -- 'after' is how it looked after one run session. It's all brake dust!

I did the same with an old set of 15x7 PD's i sold a few months back.. you are right that they stay white for about a mile before they turn grey!

They did look great for that first day though..

Did the same thing to mine a few weeks ago. Have just about the same before & after effect too. Still one of the best cosmetic mods I've done to my car.
