    Black would look good and i would think they'd be easier to keep clean than white rims, correct me if i'm wrong tho

    I agree with the cleaning them but I think it would really stand out with white.

    That is a pretty good idea. Might be worth trying.

    Sweet, keep me posted. I am skeptical on goo gone taking it off so easily.

    We'll i was wrong about goo gone, or it didnt work in the minute i let it sit cause it was 20*f outside. So I decided to use some RC cleaner degreaser that i've had for awhile to get the grease off from the goo gone and the plasti dip litterly rubbed right off. It wouldnt have done that any other way besides where i sprayed the stuff and it rubbed off with a paper towel in 20* freezeing stuff which should have been easy to do. And that's after 3/4 of a year of being on.

    Here's the stuff i used so you can see if u can find somthing like it
