Need help choosing a wheel color

My X is wicked white, I hate excessively cleaning wheels to go to a meet, but I never do show quality anything. I'm not going to name the type or model of wheel just want help on a color choice

White OR Gold?

Thanks!

White will need constant attention. But white on white is sexy. Gold will look good too depending on the wheel

it will be nothing with excessive spokes. Thinking 6 spoke. Easy to clean. Since I can see your avatar shows white wheels, have you used any of those products that help repel brake dust?

Nope. Im sure there is something out there that might help. I just cleaned them once a week, sometimes more, and it was ok. They dont take too long to clean. I have the grids in white also and they dont take that long. I clean the insides of the wheel too though. Gotta keep em fresh

inside of the wheels is soo easy on te37s/grids. your whole arm easilly fits between the spoke.

But agree, i do once a week and it takes ~hour for the wheels. I enjoy it though, they soo pretty.

And I voted gold, but honestly white would be awesome too.

Agreed. All that space there makes it too easy to not clean the whole thing

Agreed. White would look amazing but they would require alot of attention. The gold would look really nice imo.
