Gold always looks great on white, as does Bronze.

I would avoid white wheels and I personally don't like black rims on any car but they work well on white.

Just experiment by photoshopping the wheels you like onto a white FR-S/BRZ or look around the forums. Save the image as the lock screen/wallpaper on your phone or computer and if you still love it after a month then you know you have the right choice

Also remember that you can paint/powdercoat a wheel to change the colour, but you are stuck with the style

You have so many options with white. black rims arguably looks best on white. even black rims with silver lips look nice.

somewhere on here there is even a white-out that manages to pull off red rims. it just works like no other color.

I would have to agree with Zed. For me it's pretty much any colors other than white or black.
I feel like no matter what the white on white will clash and black just turns into a big shapeless tire thing.

You can go crazy with a classic red, blue or green or sedate with a nice gunmetal.

Tirerack is a great way to quickly see any color on the car.

^polished always looks awesome but you have to maintain them or they get dull after a while


with white you can pretty much run whatever style or color you want and it'll still look good. it's a 'blank canvas' in a way.

Matt Bronze Rota Grids would look good. I run them on my R32 GTR -



Obviously not on a whiteout but as everyone else says anything colored will look good.

The only colors wheels should come in: bronze, silver, gold. Though, one must allow for different tints and tones; e.g. bright silver, gunmetal, etc..

I've already done some photoshopping with member's cars. I hope they don't mind!
