Wheels look good. The blue is too rice especially on a white vehicle. Go with black, carbon grey or a dark bronze.

I dig what you're going for. Don't let people who think in a box put you in their box. No need to downplay this car's unconventional styling with convention. It's customization, not rice. The car was meant to be fun. My opinion.

Blue wheels will always be rice no matter what color of car they're going on, like ultra blue HIDs, herrafrush, stickers and domokun.

I think that any color other than black is great on white. Classics like red, green, blue, gold, etc. They all POP against the white. It's kinda like putting white rims on a WRB.

I've always wanted to do some color like this or takata green but never could I deal with a color this loud daily.

These blue rims wouldn't be or add rice on any vehicle. Blue and white is about as classic a combo as you can get.
Black = invisible on a white car. You will never be able to see the wheel.
Gray = safe. Everyone (including me) has gray wheels. Overplayed.
Bronze = again safe. Everyone has bronze wheels. Overplayed.

Takes balls to rock these wheels on the daily and they look great.

Here's an example of just how classic colored rims have been on cars, forever.
