White on white for sure, if you were cheap, like me, get some 2nd hand wheels and get them powdercoated, will save a bundle:D
Chome on white is very risky...

I now own 3 Magnas... 1 TP, a TS and a TH

TP got smashed into a tree and is now being used as a bike jump.... and trying to sell my TS

so any kind of silver wheel looks mad??? what about gunmetal grey.?? with a silver dish... i looked at 1 and try to picture it but just couldnt.... I think im stupid.

Here is a couple examples:

Gunmetal grey with chrome/silver dish and lip:

Plain silver:

I personally would go the plain silver. The drift gunmetal grey/black on white is a passing (or past) fad that looks ok, but a bit bogun and try hard unless you're very careful with your choice of mags. A couple of guys on here have done it successfully.
Photos when you are done... or else... :P

Both Chromies and Silver can look very good on white, it will depend highly on the style of rim i reckon. Chromies look awesome on a white car at night.

I'd reccomend shadow chrome or gunmetal. Just my personal opinion, not a fan of chromies.

Exactly mate. some Chrome rims ive seen on white cars look the goods but you need a really good rim to get that look!! others are real nasty giving it a really cheap sorta look.

so imho the plain silver looks the goods with most rims thats y i never went with chromies.

On a white magna...

Chrome can look good but as others say - can be risky.
I'd go with Silver, or grey/silver with a polished lip.

Other than the two attached rims, IMO I'd stay away from Shadow Chrome and White rims - however the attached Apache rims might look nice...

imo alloys

but its all a personal choice

you really need to get a good side on pic of your car and photoshop some rims on it.

or post it here and someone 'll have a go

no good spendin a couple of g because they looked good on the display stand

May not be such a bad thing. Most here get nice rims then have to put up with the "lower the biatch" comments. You'll lower it first then get the rims. lol

Chrome + white car = horrible, but it comes down to personal taste.

There are a few pics on this site of White car's + chrome wheels..

I'd say that more often than not, its the design of the wheel that looks bad rather than just whether its chrome or silver or black or white or gold... or a horrible combination of all of these!

Bain's wheels, not chrome look the goods. MRMGNA's wheels, chrome and also look the goods. Both on white cars. But I'm not too sure if the wheels each of these guys had chosen would look good on the other car, or in the other finish, ie: Bain's wheels chrome, MRMGNA's wheels silver.

About the only other thing I could say is to not say "I definetly want chrome or definetly want silver"... Have an open mind and try and photochop a few wheels first, look at what other people have for examples. Wheel shops are also able to stand the wheels up before they're fitted so you're able to see what it'll look like.
