Does this mean you're selling the 3.6 Speedlines?

No - actually have the white wheels up for sale though.

Had a guy on Pelican that was wondering what they would look like on a red car as well as a local buddy.

Professionally stripped and powdercoated. They look whiter than they are - I think the camera was blinded a bit by the bling

Dang, beautiful wheels! Would love to have some white wheels myself at some point, but yeah I bet brake dust is a serious pain!

Damn. Love the wheels, but don't care for the white. If they were silver or gunmetal, I'd buy them

White wheels are the best! (A little bit of a pain to keep clean, but not that bad...)

One thing that could make them a lot better, is detailing the center caps; IMO

I did mine in Red with a Q-Tip,, not too hard actually...

While not a fan of white wheels, for some reason they seem to work on this car...

I love the white wheels! I had them on my track car for awhile, exactly one weekend to be exact. Brake dust was terrible. I took them off and painted them dark grey.
