I have a black/white cooper and I really like the look of white wheels with the white roof. I am considering painting my R90's. I'd either go all white or black/white (like the qvick car). I am hesitant since the R90's are a pain to clean.

How do owners of white wheels feel about them?

Has anyone else painted their R90's?

Does anyone have pics of similar bbs wheels painted white on other cars? I've haven't seen any and there could be a reason why.

Should I do it?

Find someone to powder coat them. That way the color will hold up better. Figure on that running $50 or so a wheel if not more.

i had the S spokes in White and had no problem cleaning them, although it does take a bit of effort if you havnt cleaned them for a week or two!!
