Default White Rims on Red WS6

Right now, I have Chrome TT2's on my 01 Red Ws6. I'm thinking about changing them out for either white painted ZR-1's or white painted 10-spoke SS rims. Does anybody have any pictures of what this might look like or any opinions? Let me know what you think. Thanks

DON'T DO IT!!! Sorry for the outburst. I have a 25th whith white powdercoated wheels and daily cleanup is a nightmare due to brake dust. I can not drive 50 miles without looking like I have never touched these wheels. I have tried ceramic pads, greenstuff pads, factory pads, etc. I am actually thinking of replacing the wheels to get awy from the high maint.

Thanks for the replies. The only reason I'm even considering it is because all of my accents are white. My front bird is white, Ram Air decals are white, rear pontiac is white. I'm just not sure if it would eventually grow on me or what. I do know that I love my TT2's, just wondering if something else would look better or not

Well I think white wheels would look good on a red car. But I guess I'm the only one.

Don't get me wrong about white wheels. They do look very good with some colors but the cleaning time needed does not match the looks. They are an unbelievable pain. 50 miles on clean wheels and the brake dust makes them look like they were not touched.
