I've got a white with gold trim 94 Cherokee Country, and I'm thinking of painting the wheels like this. Think it will look sharp. Thoughts?

I've never been a fan of white on white but that's me. Personally, and I know it'd be a pain with those rims, I'd do the surface white and the insets black. Like I said, absolute pain and time drain, but it'd look good IMO.

I will never do white rims again, unless you plan on cleaning them daily. Probably my biggest wheel mistake ever going white

Looks like a brake dust cleaning nightmare!

Would look good on a show queen but not good for a DD.

I agree with everyone above. Would get dirty fast and I'm not a big fan of white wheels. That's just me tho if you think they will look good, go for it!

I like white rims! Looks old school IMO. I say try it! You can always paint them again. Not the same rims but here's mine
