If you go white, you should really have it powder coated to match the paint of your car. Two shades of white looks funny to me. It might not bother you though.

if you want to do something different, be REAL different. Takata Green is old. and white will look off, and if you do a color match, it will look wack.
go NEON...



but you're gonna get tired of it quick and in three-six months you're gonna have another thread asking for what color you should paint your rims.

go with something classic...
a satin silver with bright silver flake and a clear powdercoat...
