White Rims

Will white rims look good on a blue car, or is that rice i'm smelling?

Please please do not do that to your car.... I freakin hate white rims unless they are on a white car they look like **** but of course that is just my opinion....

Brake dust wouldn't be much of a problem - clean my car pretty much EVERY weekend, rotate tires (and clean them while they are off) once a month

We used to have white rims (Team Dynamics Monza) on the Focus (it's blue) and it gave it that "rally" look. But yeah, really REALLY hard to keep clean!!!

I have dark bronze rims on the blue Miata...you might check out that color combo too.

I don't think that the cleaning issue would out weigh the bad look it would give the car. Sorry, but I don't think it would look all that on a car that was not white. Just my 2 cents.

yeah, I would think white rims would look best on a white car.....having said that I myself thought about white rims on my blue p5...i passed after my wife gave me the "finger in throat" gesture.

your car needs those wheels I saw on your porch....why not use those?? are they 4 or 5 lug?

I've seen pics of a couple Blue Pros with bronze wheels. Nice look.
I'd pass on the white.
