Anyone know of any decent looking Matte White Rims? I'm trying to find some to see if it would look good or not. Any suggestions?

2. Plastidip them in matte white
3. ???
4. Profit!

Buy a used set of rims in a style/fit you like. Powder coat them matte white. Will restore the finish, and look better than plasti-dip.

+1 on powdercoat, but might be expensive (depending where you go)

But do you really want that? cleaning matte rims will be tough!

If you know you're 100% set on Matte white do this. Otherwise I'd get some Plastidip and hit the rims you like and try it for awhile. I hear matte white plasti is hard/near impossible to properly clean, so use it only to decide otherwise powdercoat and enjoy cleaining it a lot :D.

Yeah I figured cleaning them would be a bitch. I knew plasti dip and powder coating were options, though I can't really find pictures, other than of plasti dipped stock rims, of what this would look like. Mainly just to compare the look of matte to gloss. Thanks for the suggestions

Plastidip is difficult to clean in any colour, just cause plastidip is so porous. Have you tried editing a picture of the rims to matte white? If that isn't your forté, post the rims on here and see if anyone can do that for you.

I believe there is a thread on the forums for that.
