Default Wheel color opinions on a white F-Body (Trans Am)

I’m basically wanting opinions on what color wheels people think looks good on a white F-Body (Trans Am in this case) This is the first car that I’ve ever has that was not a dark color, so I’m having a hell of a time deciding on what to get. My TA came with the worst factory 16inch 5spoke with a “twist” at the end wheels they could put on it, as you can see in the picture (I think I saw a set on a late model Grand Prix the other night,) lol


I’ve got a line on a factory WS6 hood that’s already white so it’s getting that too.

So again, not really asking what type of wheel, but what color:
Chrome or polished, black with a polished lip, gunmetal, or good old natural finish.

Any pictures would be helpful as well.
Thanks for helping a white car noob out.

Here you go. If you want more pics I have some with black CETA wheels on a white TA. Just PM me your email address and I shoot it to you.

And of course if price plays a roll, you are probably not going to get Fikse wheels.. I'd say black with a polished lip, I just think that looks really good.

I really wish I could get my hand on a set of CETA wheels or a set of silver WS6's for cheap. I say some Z06's (gunmetal) or black wheels.

Black wheels with polished lips get my vote for best combination on a white car of any type!

Mr. Furious,
Definately drop your car, no wheels will look good at the stock height. Especially if you go wider it will look like a 4x4.

Thanks for the compliment on my wheels.
