rims, black or white?

Hello
I'm thinking of painting the wheels black.
I have much work to clean them, so I thought a change of color.
What is most beautiful color for rims, black or white?

In your case I vote on the storm trooper look....black wheels on a white car. I think the look is really clean and not to "ricey"

But to each their own.

I always liked the look of white wheels on a white Porsche, looks ultra clean, but I know they have to be hell to keep clean. I'm not a fan of black wheels but if your only real consideration is not seeing brake dust, black wheels would work for that. You might also consider some of the charcoal or gun metal colors. Black wheels looks to me like something is missing.

White, this in one of a few cars it looks perfect on. Black, Matte black, pinstriped wheels are all lame on this caliber of car.

I want white wheels on my white Carrera S as well. I saw one on the road and they looked extremely nice. I couldn't stop the guy and they were multi-piece with white faces and polished outer hoop.

Does anyone have any idea of a company that will do white wheels? The only thing I seem to see on vendor ads are black, gray, gunmetal, chrome, etc.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks

I vote white on white also. My 2010 GT3 I built online was white with white wheels, I wish someone would buy that color combination because I can't afford it But that 6 GT3 is stunning. Are those OZ wheels?

Black wheels with white car is my obvious choice. Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be black wheels showing up on all makes of cars lately. Pictures of my car before I had the factory decals installed, I still think the car looks great without the decals and the black wheels.

^I'm with sj on this; white GT3 + black wheels = menacing

Are going to paint or powder coat?

White on white is perfect. I'd leave it alone and buy some better wheel cleaning products.
