White wheels on a black car

[plymcl172]

Hey guys I am looking at my future wheel choice and I am just thinking what are CS thoughts on white wheels on a black car ?

I am so mixed about this, on one hand white on black looks good IMO yes I will be cleaning them every 5 mins but that doesnt bother me one bit I like cleaning lol

on the other hand will they look chav and tacky on a nice RS ?

would you ?

depends, very much, on the rest of the car.

and which style of wheels.

Not sure why but white wheels on black cars look utter pony

[plymcl172]

I like your 182 with white wheels, very different but I take it it isnt lowered

 

[Goodj]

With wheels like that, it doesn't need lowzzzzzz.

No, was standard. Might have looked a bit better with some lowz.

Probably would have looked a bit better, but they just look too big for the car IMHO, were they 17s?

Yeah, 17s. It was back in the days when I thought bigger was better.

These days I'm all about squeezing 13s onto the Rallye!

FLOL, at least you are at peace with it mate

 

[wristel]

My black 172 with white wheels änd white stickers..

 

[Adamm.]

I'f there white they need to be smaller than 17's to look good.

As per the pics chip posted 15's look much better on a black 1*2's.

I don't really like the wheels you have picked either if I'm honest.

Thought this was your Mums car? Or is that just because you're fronting the insurance policy?
