If you want to see what white wheels look like, i'll let you throw on the gram lights I have for sale to see what it looks like! You may not be able to drive with them because of the tire sizes that I have mounted but it could give you a general idea. I also like the gold idea on your car.

Pearl white would be awesome.I hate black,as every ricermobile has some shitty,spraypainted black wheels,and you don't want to be associated with that,haha.Plus,black just doesn't pop at all.
I'm not sure about mixing two kinda blue colors.It'll either look really good,or (I think more likely)look really bad.I'm also not sure on gold.It would depend on the shade of gold.
Pearl white,that is all.

I would say gold, just for the fact that your car is a lighter shade of blue and the gold would really pop against your color. White is also a good choice, I personally would never rock a set of black wheels on anything I own. Polished would look good as well since its not something you see all the time but I don't know if your car came with those from factory.

Not gold. I actually kind of like the dark blue idea. Black would look good, but I halfway agree with Chris about how everyone spray bombs their wheels black--though done right (with a nice powdercoat finish), it would look aggressive on that car!

Personally, I really like the silver finish that's already on them. It seems like you never see silver wheels anymore! lol.. It looks clean, and almost OEM.

Yeah,I should metion that silver would still be my #1 choice,but I figured that was off the table since you wanted something different.I absolutely love a nice,bright silver wheel,and it compliments any color car(except some silvers maybe).

Yeah but the silver on it is just paint, and its chipped in a few places, so if I am going to pay to have them powdercoated, I want to have them done a different color, not the same. I like the silver too, but the whole car is blue and black, so I want something that pops.

For the record, I used to have blue wheels on it for a while 2 years ago, and everyone that I ran into knew my car for those wheels. It looked awesome, but I had to sell them to pay for wedding shit. That was a hard thing to do, but I had to do it.

Pearl...man that would be awesome!!!! What size tires are on them??? I would definitely love to meet up and see what they look like. When you sent me those wheels, I was like fuuuuu I wished I could afford to buy them myself.

Sent you a PM Jon, hit me up brother. I'd love to see them on the car. And then maybe I will sell myself to prostitution so I can buy them from you lol.

Just to let everybody know, a bunch of us have a parking lot setup for tomorrow night at Premier Rental on Williamson Rd. There should be people there starting at lunch time. It's like 2 bucks to park, supposed to be a lot of nice cars coming out...
