Default rims recommendations on a pearl white gs?

i've been sittin' on stocks for the past six years.. and to take away the new car itch.. i'm thinking about getting some new shoes

what specific rim/wheels would look good on a pearl white gs? black polished maybe?

i don't really like how chrome looks on that color

I think white complements a lot of different wheel finishes, it just depends on what you like. I've had a few on my car and they all look good to me.

Silver:


Chrome:


Diamond Cut:


Polished:


Diamond Cut with Black:

If you like black then you should go for it. IMO, it has too much of a contrast to white and will definitely stick out (visually). If this is the look you are trying to achieve, then you should give it a try. Black also hides a lot of detail in the wheel design, which will kinda defeats the purpose of picking a nice design (which will not be seen half the time).
