Default Thinking of changing up my wheel color...

I wasn't really going for a dark look for my car when these wheels came my way...I guess I was really lucky that the color is so close to the SGM, so the color match is pretty spot on. I just think the concave and offset gets lost due to the dark color, and in pictures you can hardly even see the wheels.

I am thinking of changing to either a white or red, so I have a couple pics of the way the car looks now and then some photoshopped (thanks to Greg Ranallo Photography) with the white and red. The white would be an ultra white, and the red would be a deeper darker red...

Let me know what you think!!!

I'd like to see it on white or a bright silver, they would really stand out on it & not be overly loud.

a lighter color rim would look nice but white would be a pain to keep clean. Red doesn't flow well IMO. If i were to change it, it would be to bronze

I'm not a fan of colored wheels too much unless its on a race inspired car. Not sure what theme you're looking for since you just got air. You'll prima all get sick of the color later as well. If leave the wheels as is or save for a new set.

I think a bright/hyper silver would look sick, it would give it a subtle contrast while still making the wheels pop.
