I kinda like the white on white but I think it is a little 1980's kinda like the bra. Some will like it and some will hate it. Seems that they would be hard to keep looking nice.

It comes down to what YOU like. You gotta drive the thing everyday, not us. My opnion is that the white does it for me. I dont know about getting them painted, because as it was pointed out earlier you will be at the mercy of stone chips, curb rash, so on and so forth. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But then again it aint YOUR car now is it? What you think is ricey, Steve Saleen thought was high performance on his cars. It is after all what you want. For example, I paid 4500 bucks for my car. The kid was asking 5k. After I tore his "baby" apart with the little things that were wrong I talked him down to 4000 cash, in my pocket. When he offered to throw in the NASTY *** 19" chrome wheels with darn near brand new Goodyears(gag!) for 4700. I laughed. I was not personally into the "bling" thing. I tend to leave that to my wife and her 2000 "Expy" with the 24" chrome wheels. BLEEEECH! So I paid the kid 4500 for the car and the wheels, turned around and sold those nasty things for 1000 bucks just to unload them and pay for the clutch the car needed. Do ya get what I am saying? I am more than happy with the Borbet Type 5 that are on her. Only 17" at that. For some reason they just POP to me, and to most of the peep's that see her. If he likes white wheels, yellow wheels, pink with f*ing purple polka dot wheels so be it. Dont trash the dude and call it a "ricer look" just cuz you dont like it. When I was working as a salesman at Mike Davidson Ford in Jacksonville Fl, I sold a Saleen S351 to a guy who traded in his less than a month old Vette on it cuz he "liked the power, price, and the white on white color. Again my friend, each to his own.

I guess it is just my humble opinion that we shall seek help and advice in the realm of performance, but that we should leave subjective beauty to the man or woman who holds the keys.

I think white looks awesome on white if it's tastefully done, which in your case I like it A LOT.

Someone in my town has a white SN95 with white wheels and it looks great IMO.

it would be quite nice, I think. It's expensive to get rims painted PROPERLY!!!! Powdercoat is the best way to go but apinted rims take alot of punishment from curbs, tire changers, etc.
