I like them! I think the white rims on a white car look great. I really don't like black rims, you can't even see them, just blend into the tires/road.

You can get the Champion wheels in white as well. I like these better than the Porsche ones.

Drburton, the silver trim in the wheels from your pic kicks the bling-bling up a notch.

I agree....I like that chrome dish or whatever the kids call it nowadays......but yeah, black rims on a white car

I have contemplated the chrome 19" classics but I'm not sure think looks right on the white car either....not as bad as a black rim tho.....

Those white rims with the chrome/polished lip look much better then solid white.

I don't know about that. I like silver and black. Check out this Gamballa white boxster with black rims. Whatever you do, make sure it has a chrome/plished lip and it will look much better than a solid color.

SD987, good post. That car looks great. I am surprised I like the paintedwheels. Too hard to keep clean though.

Now, come on white Boxster owners, post a pic of your ride:

if colored wheels are properly powder coated, they should be fairly easy to clean

Obviously I'm a fan of the white car/dark wheel combo. I really like the contrast between the two colors. For that reason I'm not crazy about the white car/white wheel setup.
