i have seen a 106 with standard steelies just painted white-and i think they look well nice for rally style...anyone got any opinions on wether i should do this for now until i can afford some decent alloys?

shouldnt have to spend alot..as long as i key them properly i shouldnt need to prime them..not like i need a perfect finish lol.so will only cost me whatever the paint costs..probz only need 2 cans of the 500ml halfords cans..so about £12-15.cheaper than a set of wheel trims lol.

how easy would it be to mask them off etc? anyone done it before?

I quite like the steelis painted white on corsa's. Especially on a darker colour, dont know about white car tho?? Can anyone photoshop them onto your car to see? I was thinking about steelies too.
