Is it crazy to have your wheels white?

Am I looking for something that will require constant cleaning because of brake dust?

Wouldn't it look loverly, though?

Jason, my 88 Carrera came from the factory with white wheels. The paint is not clear coated either. All I do is wash the thing periodically and they always look fine. FYI, I use the factory brake pads which don't emit much dust. See my avatar.

Use a ceramic brake pad, they should dust much less. Also, use a good hard paste wax on them and they should repel most of it....

I know this is an old thread, but anyway...

Does anyone have pics of white rims on their porsche? I was thinking of painting the phonedials on my 951 white.

Found this picture online a while back. I bought my 993 with a set of these very same rims. What do you think?
