Black fr500s would look killer, no doubt. I'm in the same boat though, I know they'd look great, but it seems like that's what everyone goes to (or some close variant)

One consideration not suggested that I love on white is polished lip with a bronze/gold center.
When done properly it yields giga results
Begin to two-tone the interior with camel components for fliga results!!!

I just replaced my anthracite OEM's with Voxx black w/ polished lip bullit replicas, and I do not like the new look. I have black rear louvers and blacked out rear trim, but the wheels seem too black and shiney for my taste. I will be painting my rims dark anthracite eventually.

I think that our year Torch Reds are hard to find a wheel to match. I think chrome is too bright and black is boring. I'd prefer wider than 275, but I'm really starting to consider just sticking with my stock wheels for good. I like the look.

Black chrome on red cars looks ****. Black with red lip, gunmetal with black lip, or a black chrome with gloss black lip would look amazazing!

white wheels are a pain in the *** to keep clean.

black wheels are the same too. I had a set of stock gt wheels for my 00 gt that were powdercoated black and it was awful to keep the wheels clean.

most wheels are hard to keep clean... unless you do that infamous drum brake conversion!

Chrome is way easy, just if it didn't weigh so much!

i think white on white is a pretty risky gamble. Unless your getting them color matched to your car you could have a disaster. What if the white rims have a slight yellow tinge? or something like that

if you really wanna dip into the JDM style pool...have you considered bronze? I've seen several white cars will green rims lately too...but it's pretty out there. And this is only if you wanna get really brave. What the others are suggesting sounds fantastic (silvers, gunmetals, etc)...i would say i have seen ALOT of black rims lately (matte finish in particular).
