I have black wheels on my blue car, but understand what you're saying. One of the nicest looking combinations I've seen here is white wheels on a blue car (with some other white accents) -- looks excellent. Just an idea.

I'm just not good enough to keep them looking white :-)

I agree. When I was younger white wheels had just come out or were new concept at the time. White wheels would look great I know. I always liked the wheels in the pic though so am unsure. Was thinking if I sold mine for a good price I can offset that against the new ones.

Painting them is a good idea but not sure these are a great looking wheel and or how much it would cost to do as apposed to new wheels.

It's not urgent just want to liven the car up a bit. I admit the car looks better in person than pictures.

Thanks for the messages :-)

I'm always a little baffled as to why people post things like, what wheels should I buy, what color should I paint my calipers, does this bumper look good, etc. I just don't see why anyone would customize their car according to someone else's tastes. It's your car - do what you think looks good. What does it matter what someone else thinks?Why do you care about the opinions of a bunch of people on a forum that you will probably never meet and that will never see your car?

Every change I make, I make because I like it. I don't give a rat's back end about what anyone else thinks.

No harm in asking opinions. I'm sure you have done and bought things on recommendations of friends/ work colleagues or clients. I may not meet anyone on here but there is no harm in asking opinions or views. Maybe someone will come up with a suggestion which I had not thought about. If I just did what I like I would mod my car with a few machine guns and go faster stripes.

It was a harmless post. Apologies for it offending you.
