having trouble deciding what color to paint my rims

ok, i just recently got some HX rims and i painted them white...but they are starting to turn creamy and someone told me that it was because of the clearcoat, so i'm not gonna clearcoat them this time. as of now, they are still white and they are a BITCH to keep clean...not my back ones, but my fronts, dirty would stock to them so much...i'm guessing it's because of my front brakes or something. i'm having mixed thoughts of white, white with polished lip, bronze, or bronze with a polished lip??? heLp

if you have any pictures, feel free to post...here are what my rims look like right now

Re: having trouble deciding what color to paint my rims (b00st)

anybody know what i can't to prevent my rims from getting dirty so fast?? i've seen many cars around here with white rims, including my friend, and they do not get dirty very easy. but with mine, they get really dirty every single day, i have to clean them practically everyday...cuz so much dirt gets on them...

Re: having trouble deciding what color to paint my rims (endyn'ed)
