Default White Looks Best With Standard Wheels, No Black Wheels, No Silver Wheels...

Ok my turn for the annoying pre-lock post about my final option decision... I love all three wheels on white, I am gunked up on a final decision. My build will primarily be - PCCB, Sport Buckets with a couple other options. For me this is a weekend-only car, so I love an aggressive modern R Gruppe look...might do some OEM tasteful graphics like the Porsche hood stripe. Which do you like best for an aggressive look?

I have a white car coming as well. I will be either power coating the wheels in a semi-gloss black or plasti-dipping them in a similar color. The white with black wheels (although overdone) strikes so many of the right chords with me. I'm also leaning towards the graphics on the hood/roof along with the lower sides.

That is such a loaded question because there in no right and wrong. in a nut shell; the standard wheels look great and if you have steel brakes they end up looking like the black wheels, after a few miles, and you did not have to pay any thing for that look- that simple. But; very subjective- I think

Standard, I think the black makes the wheels look smaller.

I prefer standard. Black is a nice look too. I wouldn't go silver.

I saw a white with black wheel combo in person and didn't like it at all, would prefer black if they had silver lips, black center sections....I went white with standard wheels, I love the red with standard also!

I was leaning toward standard or black. The black look so mean, I have them now on my 11 gt3. But I do like the grey also. There is something clean and classic about the silver, but I agree that they are likely not making the final cut.

STD. You can always plasti dip it to make it blk and can remove it. If you get blk and no like, no going back to STD

I have a V300 waiting for a ship assignment in Compound Kornwestheim, white with standard wheels. Like Jimmy-D said with steel brakes both silver and standard will get darker in no time. My ETA is Haloween!
