Rice or Nice??????

Well I have a set if 17" Firehawk wheels (painted) that I want to mount up on my Formula. The plans were to polish them out for the chrome look but my buddy brought up a good idea to paint them white? Keep in mind the car is Navy Blue Metallic and I think the white might set of the car nice? Not sure just a thought.... So what do you all think?

I have seen a white firehawk with white wheels and it looked great. They said it was hard to keep the wheels clean though. I know it was not a blue car and everything, but the firehawks looked good in white just me .02

i dont see how this could be considered rice?? rice is adding something, usually hurting performance, to make your car look like a "race car". ls1 adam, so black is cool but white is rice?? yellow rims are hideous, red is ugly, but i dont think it would be classified as rice, just bad taste. for the record i think it would look badass! powdercoating would be the way to go though
