Need advice

I am new here. I have a 2005 Mazda 3 rally white. I have had it for almost a year and i think it is time to hook it up. I am looking for some rims but i am having a hard time choosing between white rims or black rims. Let me know what would look good with my rally white mazda 3.

Black is the way to go with a white car. Ideally, I would, personally, find black rims that have a aluminum colored surround (rather than all black).

I think black/hyperblack looks great on white.

Thanks for the advice guys. I got my new rims yesterday. I got some ADR M-Sport Glossy Black with chrome lip. They are shipping them from CA, so the wheel shop should get them in a couple of day. Now all i need to do is get a cam so that i can start taking pictures and showing all of you what my baby looks like.

Celeste....Yeah, i was going to get the ASA (glossy black w/ silver lip) AR1 but the dude wanted like around $250 for each wheel and he did not want to give me a break. So, i got the ADR at a decent price from another store but yeah they were way cheaper than the ASA.

Ditto for dropping it, but I'm a fan of Eibach. I'm sure they look good on the 3 as well!

BTW nice rims man!

Yeah i am still thinking about dropping it. I don't want that much of a drop but i guess i still need to see what is out there. I am looking for about a one inch drop or so if i do drop it.
