gunmetal, will look cooler!
Black or gunmetal would look cool. I have an idea, time for some photo editing.

I love those rims! And they look good in white.

But in my humble opinion, White rims only look good on a white car.
Never mind, Photobucket's editing tools suck now. Why they went and changed it... Anyway my idea was to paint the rim gun metal gray, then all the recessed areas in black.

I think white rims on a black car would look pretty sharp

Personally, I don't like when rims are the same color as the car. I feel it blends in. White rims look great on blue cars, black cars and sometimes red cars. When they are the same color, they kind of disappear. The point in spending all that money is to have your rims looked at, not make them unnoticeable.

Personally, I don't like THOSE rims in white... Something that chunky would look better in anthracite or gunmetal.

you can plastidip your wheels, if you dont like it, peel it off
Personally, I don't like black rims. It just looks to me as if the car is unfinished, like the hubcaps fell off. My vote is for gunmetal thumbsup.gif
