Default JSB White Rims

Trying to think of a look that isn't very common and come across some nice shots of blue with white rims. This is the look I'll probably go with.

Any opinions or photos of a JSB with white wheels? Found a few that shows the idea I'd compliment them with a few other white details (gauge faces, seat stitching once I pick up new seats, etc).

Go for it. I'm thinking of going this direction too with my AW. Love the way the C4's 35th anniversary look

Talk about showing brake dust.

I thought I would like it when reading the title but not so much from this pic and I own a JSB. I can't imagine the cleaning duty required due to brake dust.

I like it on the pic, but not sure it would look as good in person, and like the others said you would have to clean them twice a day every day.....

Ummm...it's your car, but I can't see white wheels on my JSB, definitely not for me.

IMHO, the combo does not do anything positive for the car. The body color is a 'rich' almost jewel color, and white is not complimentary.

I admire you thinking out of the box! You'd have a unique ride for sure and I like your other ideas.

Do it! Race teams have been doing it for years...think Calsonic Nissans in the JGTC world. I like it!
