im going with black for two reasons. one the rims are used and im peeling off chrome plating and sand blasting and black will hide all the flaws the best. second black will not show dirt.

Where did you hear "black will not show dirt"???  have you ever seen a clean black car?  Or at least a clean one parked on the street for a couple days?  I'm just here to throw wrenches in your logic, have a nice day

well black will hide some dirt a litle better than white :) plus white will show flaws a little more.

ya black doesnt hide dirt as well. u need white or grey to get that non-dirty looking style. grey would do it best. or gunmetal.
