White would look really good. You might can have the rims you have now powdercoated white for not even half the price of buying new ones. I'd look into the costs and then weigh out your options.

I know that painting my own rims would be cheapper then buying some new white rims but I want to go with some 18'' or 19''...si I'll have to change anyway...and I have some buyer for mine...

And for the cleaning..I know...but It don't mather...I wash my car 3 times a week so...they will be clean [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

i think itd look good with your white on green color scheme, but personally im not a big fan of white rims except on white cars. just seems a little bright/flashy for me, silver keeps a little suttle class to it. but i think itd look good with your car id say go for it if you can.

I'm not a big fan of white wheels. I think that the silver ones would look the best. But with your car, the white ones wouldn't look bad on them.

hey rider,

i would say go with silver. white looks good with a flat color paint, but you have some mad pearl in yours.
i love your paint, but i think white rims wouldnt look too good with it. maybe its just that the white rims in your pic look way brighter than the graphics...it might look better if they were the same color, but in that pic it just doesnt look like they match well.

White rims all the way! First of all, your car is a custom paint, and greenish, and normally white rims look great on custom neon colours. Second, your car is accented with a white flame on the outside. It is good to do a consitent colour theme, so the white rims would flow together very nicely.

Hmm, Eric, I think that either way, they both look good. If you curb white painted wheels, you gotta take them back to metal and respray them...it will stick out much more than if you leave them. I prefer the silver colored wheels. I do think the white would look good, though, depends on whether you want to have to keep them up or not....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Normally I'd say that white rims suck, but your car is over the top enough to pull it off. I think it'd look nice on your car.
