I am thinking of painting my rims (Drag DR31 16x7+35) white. I am trying out the white Rota Grids (16x7+37). To paint or not to paint, that is the question...

Should i paint these wheels white?

Just to get the idea of what white wheels look like on my car

i dont think so, your car looks pretty boss right now...though i havnt seen those wheels in white...paint them champ white though, i think that will have a real class look with the off white versus a bright white

Agreed. Please don't paint!
But if you decide to... CW FTW!
IMO, The creamier color will offset better with the bluish tint that our SSM's have.

your car is too blacked out to accept white wheels. But with the right wheels you can though.

thanks for all the opinions guys...i know my setup right now is leaning towards the "blacked out" look, but i am trying to get a look that stands out more. unfortunately in vegas, tint is necessary, thus the darker look of my car.

Stick with dark or go neon yellow or orange, oror even green would look sick

Ultimately there is no real right/wrong when it comes to wheels, it all comes back to personal preferences. I think white looks amazing on SSM, before I had my RPF1's, I wanted white BC P1's. There are a few people on here that have them and they look great.

IMO, that color makes your car look nice and a bit aggressive.. so I would vote no on repainting.

The car is yours, but I don't know about white on SSM. I have a SSM and I went matte black BC P1 SF Challenges. Most people have a contrast of a light and dark color, but hey new trends always have to start somewhere. Be a trailblazer.
