Do you really need to ask what wheels look good based on car color alone? I thought this stuff was simple, just plain 'ol hotrod common sense. Read enough performance car magazines and you tend to figure out what works and doesn't work when it comes to vehicle color vs wheel finishes.

I've put together a little chart for the wheel colorblind. Maybe this will help you get going in the right direction when selecting a wheel finish. Here are my 'safe' recommendations on wheel finishes for your color of vehicle. On rare occasions, venturing outside of the recommendations may work, but most of the time there are better choices to be made. For example, you may feel that your black wheels on a navy blue car look great, but I guarantee one of the other finishes would look even better to the rest of the automotive world. Do you ever wear navy blue dress pants with a black dress shirt? If so, see "taste gene is broken" statement above.



Good news if you own a red, black, or white vehicle. EVERY finish tends to look good on those colors. Your job of picking a wheel finish just got easy.

Now, as for wheel styling, you are pretty much on your own in that regard. Everyone has different taste, so selecting the "perfect" wheel will vary with every person you ask.
