I've never seen anyone paint the OEM wheels white, but there is a member on here, sT04Louis, who has a WDP, and has painted his aftermarket rims white.

I'd be interested to see those too, since I have WDP.

Now, when you say "white", do you mean color matched to the pearl (WDP) white? That could look really good. But, if you just mean a generic (non-pearl) white...I don't think it would look as good. Just my opinion.

If you do paint them, just keep them brake dust free by washing your wheels every time you wash the car.

Here's my idea...why not paint one wheel with white water color paint. Then mount the wheel on the car and see what it looks like. If it looks like s*%#, then hose it off with water. If it looks good, paint all 4 wheels and post pics here.

I think it will look like shit if they're not color matched to the car.

May look hot if you color match. make sure you find something to protect your paint from break dust.
