I personally love the blacks rims with/ white lips on a white car, just need a proper choice of rims and a reasonable lips size, not for Everyone but i would really look into this option if i ever grab a white car

I agreed........ definitely black rim will be really catchy. Don't think more over this, Black and white is the standard combination.

I would go with Charcoal or anthracite. I'm sure black would look good , so you just have to decide what taste you want.

Guranteed if you buy white rims that you will always have trouble selling them (more so than any other color). And no one keeps this stuff forever.

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).

I wouldn't let me son buy a "hotwheels" car with green rims, Much less EVER put a set of green rims on a real car... But I imagine someone out there must like them,,, Or are just striving to be different.

Look at the drift mustang in black and bright green...looks pretty sweet to me...but it's also got some pretty extreme styling to go with it. Guess more of a car show look than a street look.

I was leaning toward black chrome. It might be the answer, and is pretty rare on S197's.

It would take the right wheel, suspension setup for stance, probably some well thought out matching graphics, and a powertrain to show the car could live up to the look.

Hence the risk. If not done perfectly, it'll look like a ricer piece of crap that it would be.
