I have white car and white rims and was thinking either black or silver. Then I thought how would white look like, and now I can't decided what color I want.

Black looks stock, if you want some contrast, then maybe a shade of blue, or if you are a bit extreme, maybe orange or yellow or even some shade of green.

I like black personally. It can get very dirty before it looks bad. Silver would be my second choice. Stock alumminum looking but new. White, I think it's too much white but you can always try one. Painting is easy once you do the prep so you can just paint over the white if you don't like it.

Coming from someone who has thought about this exact question on numerous occasions, I say go with either flat black or a gunmetal color.

If you're going for an all white or a panda look, it would detract from that scheme if they were painted anything but black or gunmetal.
