I am thinking about getting a new white 04 mustang. i like to have an idea of what i would like to do to the car before i buy it, and one thing i want to do is put white rims on it.

I was wondering how easily the rims get dirty from the brake dust and other stuff on the road

 

They will need to be cleaned A LOT. They will always be dirty from break dust so this thread will end with the decision of how much time you want to spend cleaning them. It's not hard to clean them though, not if you like the look.

 

Indeed, my brother had white cobra R rims on his white 94 v6 mustang, they looked pretty good. Werent a bitch to clean, all things considered we do not neglect our cars, so he would just clean the car weekly or w/e and they would look sexy all the time.

 

I saw white rims on a S197 that looked pretty sweet once. Not sure about them on a new edge...But if it turns out anything like ^^^ they should look pretty good.

 

Not a fan

 

Indeed, they looked good on that car. But anything would look good by comparison to stock.

 

Yeah, I agree.

The only thing that would suck is that they would have to be kept clean and that would mean wiping them down a lot.

 

But if the look is worth it, I wouldn't mind spending 5min of my time cleaning em.

 

thanks a lot for all the input

it is going to be the weekend warrior, so i wash and wax the stang i have now every week, so it wont be any touble putting the time into cleaning them.

 

OK, I know this post is "old", but I just seen it. I had a white 84 GT Turbo with the factory aluminum rims with the 16 square holes around the outside perimeter. I scuffed 'em up and painted them white. I don't have any pics, but it looked real good. The 16 holes would be a bigger bitch to keep clean, and I managed to do it with them.

Also, of course you cant do alot about road grime, but if brake dust is a concern, opt for the ceramic, or a step up in pads...unless you already have them- in which case youre good to go anyway.

If you end up doing it, please post some pics.

 

either get white bullets or the white saleens, if u just take a hose every time u get home @ night the brake dust from that day should rinse off without soap/spray

 

or buy some wheel cleaner with brake dust repelent. it will keep it clean for a few more days than just soap but not much. after i started using it i saw less of an appearance of dust on mine

 

If you just use a good wheel wax or wheel sealant its really not a problem to keep them clean at all.

 

I think white rims on white stangs can be pulled off and looking freaking awesome.
