Suggestion on Rims

Icemul · Jul 6, 2006

I have a white coupe that eventually will get some 18's.
I'm not really pickly about the spokes, but I can't figure out what color would go best with the white. I was thinking gunmetal or black would look good, but then again white on white might not be bad. Any thoughts or picks of rims on a white accord?

white on white is not a bad idea....if you keep the brake dust off. Gunmetal or black will mask the dust pretty well. I had gunmetal rims before and you couldn't really notice the brake dust until you looked closely.

Now with silver rims, you can tell when they're dirty. So I find myself cleaning it a lot more.

Go with some wheels that have white spokes and a nice chrome/polished lip.... that would look pretty clean....

I like these wheels on a white car with a CF hood

The sucky part about the whole thing is I live off a dirt road and on a Mountain. So I can't lower my car cause I need the clearance and with the dirt road my white car is almost never clean

That sucks.... scrap the white rims then. Go with the black or black chrome... that way at least part of your car will look like it's clean

Go with OEM 16's if you cant lower. Otherwise you'll have terrible fender gap.

Yeah I have thought about that. I had 16's on my CL and they handled really well. But my OEM 15's are to skinny and can't corner worth a crap. So I don't know.
