Default White wheels??

OK I was thinking or painting my stock wheels white just to see what they look like...before hand I have used photoshop to portray my idea. I made that gray crap black for another idea. What do you guys think?

If you paint your wheels white, you should get white brake pads too. Otherwise, the brake pad dust will show up that much more on the white wheels. ;-)

BTW... I seriously doubt that white brake pads exist.

Also... how do you plan to open the doors without a handle? I'm sure it can be done and I have a couple of thoughts on it... but what is YOUR plan?

there is a old Volvo here with no door handles. I am sure you can get some small motors that will open the door when you press a button. If I do do that mod I will have lambo or scissor doors.

I do have mad computer skill z, this was easy, just take a separate layer add a white blob over the tire, then adjust the layer settings so the white sets on the grayish areas.

This is my plan and I am sticking too it, wahahaha! I am mad!
