Default White On White?

So I've kinda been kicking around the idea of painting my stock SS wheels white. Does anyone have pics of white on white?

I've seen it, and it looks nice and clean. Surprised more guys don't do it. I had a white 96 Mustang GT with white Cobra Rs on it and it was clean looking.

My only thing is, I have the black roof. I wonder if that would make it look funny. That's kinda why I was leaning towards black wheels with polished lips...

I hear you, i've been wondering about how that would look on my car (white with black top). The stock painted SS wheels are pretty light anyway, white ones just look better. Now you could try a black center cap, but i think the color of the tires would even it out. you could also try a black stripe down low.

Yeah I was debating on just widening my back wheels, and throwing some 315's on there. Didn't think about the black center caps. That might even it out.

In 1997, the 30th Anniversary Camaro SS had white SS wheels. Sharp car.

White centers with polished lips would look sweet! I've never seen that, personally, but I can just imagine how clean it would look.

I have always loved the white SS wheels on the 30th. BUt figured they would be a pain to keep clean.

I have a white SS.....same thoughts...but to see that with the polished lip...
VERY sharp...much better than solid white.
