Dipped my sport wheels white. What do you think of white wheels on black cars? (pic)

[geeeek]

Still not sure how I feel about white oem wheels, might take it off. Eventually want to get a set of white OZ alleggerita hlt's if I go the white route

More pics in different angles/lighting added. Don't mind the center caps I have to clean it up lol

I think white wheels would look best on the blue civic but they look good on black too. Not sure how easy it will be to clean the brake dust off though.

I like. But, yeah... keeping them clean might be a micky ficky.

I added 2 coats of glossifier since I heard it's easier to clean stuff off the smoother finish

White wheels are like Yellow cars, they shouldn't exist, there is no color they work with. For a Black Car you want Gunmetal to Silver (somewhere in that tonal range) or maybe for the right car a bronzy gold but not white, never white.

For California it looks perfectly cool.

Its definitely different. It’s usually a white car with black wheels but you reverse it which made it not the norm personally I like when someone does something different to their own car it stands out and unique I think it looks good

I like it. It reminds me of old school rc cars

White wheels will give you that "tuner" look if that is what youre going for. OEM sport wheels honestly dont look good in any other color than stock. I think its because the spokes look thinner with the black outlining.

Phoenix yellow honda owners on suicide watch. I always thought silver/gray was too boring, black was a bit overdone, and personally don't like bronze type colors. But white doesn't seem to get it right either. Serious first world problems here

I get the feeling you do not think it is perfectly cool haha

Yeah, part of the reason I like white wheels is the "toy" look, but I think older style cars pull it off much better. The hatch looks a bit too modern/overstyled.

See above quote, I actually referenced some black Z's and older hondas with the white on black but I don't think it has the same effect with the way our car is styled. Also yes the black outlines do serious work on the look of the stock wheels!

I think the OZ wheels in white will look better. I always liked white wheels on a black EM1.

I like the concept but I think the color doesn't work for the sport OEM wheels
