The Jeep Hightop Honcho concept has me inspired: how well do white wheels keep?

Peeps with white wheels! How do your wheels do? Do they stain easily? Would you buy white again?

I had white on my last car, they stayed pretty bright. Maybe once or twice a year they needed a good scrubbing to get the brake dust off.

I had white wheels on for a while, I loved the wheels themselves but I got sick of the white with the sarge green. They were easy to keep clean and honestly I would just hose them off, no soap or anything. The glossy finish helped keep them clean I think. I'd buy white wheels again, but not on this color out of entirely personal preference

I eventually switched to some matte black method wheels, they probably show dirt just as if not more than the white wheels, but I don't care.

Mine are breeze to keep clean, mostly just hose them off. I do use some Dawn Powerwash on them and the tires, but that rare.

Absolutely love mine. Holding up great and look great dirty too.

I’m running bead locks powder coated white and don’t cut them any slack. I just wash the wheels last with the dirty soap water, easy.

This is an older photo (1 yr ago) so the other mods are not present but, the Black Rhino wheels are looking sweet 17" on 35s 4.5" lift.

That looks sweet. As I hunt for white wheels, nobody has any in stock! They are all backordered

White wheels are only challenging to keep clean after the finish starts to degrade. I actually wax my wheels a few times a year and they stay easy to keep clean. A good ceramic coat would be even better. I don’t have white wheels, but I used to detail cars and I’m familiar.

I found that, as with any color, it really depends on the finish.

Glossy finish wheels usually clean very easy.
Matte finish wheels will require some elbow grease to keep clean. They will usually ultimately end up stained.

That's really good to know. Stay away from matte if you hate stains.

Flat clears are a pain to deal with. It’s the same with house paint. Anything less than satin wall paint is a pain to keep nice.
