Definitely white.
Black just makes your car look like some crappy car which has had it's hubcaps fall off.

too true, (unless you can get some funky coloured tyres like the pushies) i went the gun metal grey option and could not get the white out on fast enough

White looks better when everything is clean (car body included). But personally I like black. Not as common either, good thing..? Look around in my rides section and you'll find some black rims...

TRUE, body colour does matter. I swapped my white 14"'s off my white ute with my RX H mags on the red GLTA sedan. The white 14's really set off the red sedan and the 13's look poxy on the ute as they did on the GLTA!

reason is 13's will comply with rego inspection as will their rubber content.

Put them on as they come (white) and use them. Paint them later if you feel like it. Paint them again if you want to.

Yeah... Black looks like you're asking for trouble and looks "cheap" without hub cups on your car looks like you dont have money to make an effort for your car... So I'm still saying White is way to go...

My wagon after wheels, mud, some dints scratches and a couple of run ins with trees. Shitty respray on the bonnet is starting to peel too... she still looks good though.

If you do go black, put some pin striping around the outer edge. Looks much better than plain black!

haha thats your car Venom, I remember seeing it without the wheels and I didn't even make the connection with the second shot...

As ya know, I think black, however I do agree white compliments many colours... But still white, with white.... paint the car not the rims maybe?
