White wheels are amazing and look really good when kept clean.
I had white wheels on my old Exup which I had for 6 years.
The only downside is the cleaning which you pretty much have to do every time you ride it to keep them looking good.
Some paraffin on a rag round the wheels before you wash them worked for me.

the white wheels on my TL are hell, not only do they show up the dirty/brake dust but they show up all the stone chips ect.

ok so at the mo we are looking at white but i think it'll have to much white cuz ive got a white undertray so theres no darkness under the seat. how about white front wheel and green rear wheel.

at the mo the wheels are polished with green inners and they are a bitch to make shine worse choice i ever made was nitromorsing them!!!!!
