Im a massive fan of black rims on white cars, it suits any white car.

Checkout Asylums car, thats the only one I remember having black rims on white. Theres a few others.I'd definately do it

You'll need a black bonnet to complete the look :D

<--- How about the wheel in my avatar. Available in 18's from Tempe tyres, unless your special and have a set of 19's custom painted like I manage to get my hands on.

Or the other wheel I really like is Koya Inox Imagine

Well is your car if you like it do it. Sometimes it is nice not to always listen to what friends say. As long as you like it.

For white car, I say stick with silver or chrome. I think gold seems a bit out and black does not seem to stand out.

black rims for the win lol but get 19's if you can coz the dish makes the rims small.

i have koya rush rims and they are 18" X 8.5" and ye i wouldnt mind 19's but at this height 19's would look too big for my car so will stick with 18's.

couple of pics :D

Do it!

Go 18s though if you can. Seen Ralliart_Akko's ride. It is sweet as but the rims don't quite look like 19s unless you have a good look due to the dish.

black on white will look tidy as

if you want rims that have black and shiny spokes go for the Koning unknowns (think thats what they are called)

but if you want black with machine or chrome dish you need thespokes to be simple or meshy looking with hints of alloy bits on the spokes area.

heres a close up of mine and what im talking about

i have machined bolt kinda things that break it up befor the dish starts so it dosnt look to cluttered but thats just my opinion :)

I reckon black rims look hot. My parents just bought a VE SS, and have a white and black theme going. It's white, with black track stripes, black rego plates and really dark tint. Unfortunately, dad went for a set of polished silver mags - I reckon a set of mags like Ashneel's would have looked hot. If I ever buy the car off them, a set of black mags is the first thing I'll put on.

I also agree with the others, I don't really like the look of those rims you posted.

You shouldn't get defected with 18s. If you don't change the rolling diameter of your wheels (they have to be within say 26mm of stock - can't recall the exact figure), I don't think you're able to be defected. If you're worried about the stock + 2" rule - you could always just get an engineer's certificate / mod plate.

IMO If you've got the money to get 18s over 17s - just do it.
