Default White Rims

ok, sooo i am havin some paint done on my car, and i have 2 sets of the 10 spokes, enough to make one "good" set lol, stupid curbs, either way they need some refinishing. i am debating on weather or not to paint them back to the same "silver" or what i'm not a huge fan of the black i don't know it looks good, but doesn't do it for me, the silver is nice, but everyone has them obviously because that's the color they come in, but white?? does anybody, anywhere have them in white, if so lets see some pix? i attached this recent post, post 11 shows a blue viper with white, and i just think the white looks amazing. any thoughts?? pics?? anybody??

Post a side view photo of your car and maybe you can get someone to photoshop them white.

Is your car white?

I've never seen an F-Body that wasn't white with white wheels. Didn't the '97 Camaro SS come with painted white 5 spokes? I mean, that'd give you an idea I guess.

I you think it would look cool DO IT!

Everyone will yell rice cause thats easy to say, but at least you wont be 1 of 10,000 people with identical TT, CCW, or vette wheels. Be unique dont follow the herd!

see that's the thing, has anyone ever seen a clean, red camaro with white rims??? i think it could go either way, but mine need re-painted, and i don't know if i want to just keep the silver (which looks good) but EVERYONE has, or go with maybe something different, like white. i know it can look "ricer" but that viper doesn't look ricer, not in the least. so why would it on a red camaro? i know different colors, but who knows for sure. i know white on white looks good, lol, hell maybe red on red?? just kiddin, hell maybe i'll just paint my crappy set white and see what happens.

I think something simple like some FM5s in white could look badass.

Like I said before, get someone to photo-shop your wheels white. Then If you like it, do it! Who cares what anyone else thinks, if it's what you like!

I would only do it if you had white leather. A white top vert would be icing on the cake, but good luck having that combo. Otherwise I would stay away.

Go ahead and do it. I knew a guy who used to have a red ss with white zr1's but he also had white anniversary stripes on the car to match. If you can put a little white on your car to collaborate with the wheels it should look nice. I liked it

I say red with white wheels is borderline rice... At least with those wagon wheels. White however is pretty sexy!

You can pull off the white wheels if you have some white on the car, and/or some red in the wheels. Paint your z28 or ss emblems white or get some red rim tape on the edge of the rims.

NWS for attachment.
