Ron,


sorry i dont have pics, but just a word of advice.  dont do this unless you
really like to wash brake dust off your rims on a regular basis.  i also
have been wanting white rims.  on the busses i have seen them on it looks
really sharp!  however, every owner i have spoken with who has very light
colored rims has commented on how much of a PITA the brake dust is on
the front rims. for this reason, i decided not to paint my rims a light color.


good luck & HTH.
