The car won't be on the track, its basically a cup car clone/wanna be LTW track car that will never see track time lol. I am on the fence about powder coating, so many people argue both ways. I have been debating whether or not to do the wheels in white since I got it, I'm surprised at how many of you guys have liked the idea. With the car being early offset I don't really want to run spacers, and also don't want heavy replica wheels, and the custom wheel route really isn't justifiable at this time. I figure phone dials are nice and light, but doing them in white might set them off more.

I like white.
I am having my Fuchs lips polished and the centers powder coated white.
Either that or the whole wheel polished...October will be the time to decide for me.

Funny you mentioned your fuchs, because according to my option sticker my car is suppose to have grand prix white fuchs. I'm assuming a previous owner must have taken them off.

I have always like cars like the turbo cup, GT3, M3 lightweight, 360 challenge stradale etc. the most.

I like the white wheel look. Powdercoating is the best option. Cost me about $200 to have one of my sets of 9x16 Clubsports powdercoated and the guy did a fantastic job. He did the backs and inside the rim and I was very pleased. I've used the wheel paint and it is worthless. My other set of CS I painted with white appliance epoxy paint. It holds up almost as well at the powdercoating and is a cheap alternative. It has a smoother finish and cleans up better. You can also touch them up easily.
