I believe it has been discussed elsewhere in this forum but one of the major drawbacks is chipping. Unless you are going to powder coat them. You could go to discount tire and see what the different rim colors look like on you vehicle if thats what you are after?

There was a thread about hubcaps...i never saw one about 16' alloys. I was also wondering how it would look like. because i need to fix all my curb rashes, i was thinking of painting my rims after. I heard engine paint works good...just chips if you mount tires and of course hit the curb.

Do white on white. You will be cleaning at least weekly but you will not regret it.
