I was looking through Car & Driver and I saw these white Sparco Assetto Gara wheels on a FR-S. How do you think they would look on my true red speed3?

ive seen 2 red ms3's make it 3 ^^ now, with white wheels and ive always liked them. but they are a PITA to keep clean, i had white rims on one of my V-dubs back in the day and it looked awesome clean but always got dirty quickly after. i swore to never go white again. lol

It's nice but you will need to wash them daily..

If you are cool with the up-keep go for it. They look good, I'm just too lazy to deal with them.

Thanks guys. I'm kinda a clean freak so I'm def up for the challenge. I would also replace my stock brake pads to reduce the dust. I also like the Enkei EKM3 silver, but the white is less common.

It's not that bad. A nice coat of wax on the wheels helps the removal of dirt and grime. I have Carbotech XP10s on my Miata (really dusty) and nickel 6ULs and I just wipe the brake dust off with a rag every couple of days.

Since its a waste to get new pads if I don't need them, I think ill put my trust in the armor all wheel protection. Heard its pretty good

That is a major drawback...
