Default Comp MO Dilemma

After a few hours scrubbing these poxy white MO on my car, i'm starting to think about a colour change

Everyone takes the piss out of Mike R's gold wheels but now i know why he got gold................White are the worst colour ever invented!

Thinking a colour change ccould be in order, but to what

Anybody up for a photoshop colour change??



Yes i do own the 2 worst colours known to man!

What does everyone else use to clean their wheels........ I just can't get the stains off

Once you have got them clean get a Wheel Wax and polish and put a couple of good layers on them... makes them so much easier to clean the next time round!

neat fairy liqued or some rubbing compound should do the trick, might have to use a toothbrush to work it in though.
Then give them a good polish and wax after
