White rims? Thoughts?

[AnD3rew]

I'm liking the steel wheels as an option. What do people think about using white steel rims? I see the new defender has them as an option, and I've seen them old Defenders.

I'm thinking a Green Grenadier with white contrast roof and white wheels would be pretty sweet?

Thoughts?

Would be easy to do plasti dip as a shorter term option or a trial run, and if you like it you can have your wheels either painted or powder coated.

Hm, looking at my disco.. perhaps sand or mud-brown should be the colour of choice.. both rim and body....

Had that same thougt:

Melbourne Drive Day​

Britannia Blue with white roof. I guess my first mod will be white rims, just to let it look more similar to my TD5 (metallic green however...)

This Bronco was in Tread Magazine over the summer. I don’t like the white grille, but I think this shade of green with white wheels looks nice. A bit like Series green and limestone.

Here’s another pic.

I don't like the look of the vehicle at all or how easily the panels come off.
Same with the wrangler

Wasn’t commenting on anything but a green truck with white wheels. But I do like the Bronco.

I already had white rims, I had polished rims. I was cleaning the rims every Saturday. I didn´t want to do that any longer.
Since 2010 I´ve been driving the same black rims (powder-coated) on my Toyota(s). Easy to clean, when I want to - because I don´t really need to!
Most times I clean the rims, when I have to clean the TIRES (THEY are dirty).
I like to see white rims, they look fine, especially in combination with dark green colour and a white roof ("Defender Style") - but not for myself.

My apologies
I like the green but not the white wheels.

I like the concept of the bronco and this red one looks great

White rims looks really cool with some colours.. (on my taste..)

I agree that looks good.
The spokes look much better than the plain white steel wheels
Or the plain black ones on the Grenadier

Snow cover? In Australia at the Gold Coast? Really?

Hmm, well, Gold Coast.
Snow actually occurs in Queensland at an average of just over one day per year. So, while not being a typical winter feature, it's certainly not unheard of.
The Bureau of Meteorology has only three official records of snow in Brisbane: June 1927, June 1932 (witnessed by seven people), and September 1958 (light flakes were seen by four people at 5:15pm in Moorooka, Wooloowin, Bowen Hills and Taringa.

Looks like someone just out googled you @DaveB.

That‘s the weather a snow cover is meant for:

But it looks good so it is legitimate in Australia or Africa too.

A bit of bling. So what. ;-)

I certainly don't hate it.

edit - for those who have not viewed the new NA Q&A video from the other day, the question about factory white rims was asked and the answer was certainly not at this time.
