    Before anyone says get them powder coated, I want to paint them because, A) i've got access to a good blast cabinet and B) my wheels get hammered, so powder coat is just a waste of money and i can just blow them over every now and then with excess paint.

    So, my question is this......I have tried asking Compomotive, but they wouldn't tell me the proper colour, so do any of you know what white is compomotive wheel white? I've got a set that i need to 'match' (or as best i can) so exact colour is perhaps not achievable, but as close as possible would be nice.

    Any ideas?

    I will put a feeler out to some of the 'wheel whores' that I know.

    is it worth taking on of the wheels down to a car paint shop and see if they can colour chip it? that might get the nearest white to them?
