Default White wheels?

Ive never seen an SC with white rims. How do you guys think it would look? Specifically on a DWP SC.

what kind of wheels. if they are vip wheels with a fat lip then white would blend in too much with the polished lip.

if they are full faced, non-lipped wheels then they should look good. do a google search for sc with white wheels. im sure you will come across something...either good or bad

Theyre completely gloss white, no lip, typical 5 spoke star design

Maybe some white Volk TE37s, but most white wheels don't look too good, especially with a polished lip.

Mmmm, would probably look alright, but I'd probably do polished/chrome, silver or black spokes with a nice lip.

Yea, I think the white would clash with the pearl white of the paint. White rims - no go.

No way it actualy looks very good it just all depends on the car and wheel style+fitment. My boi has a 2006 GS430 Starfire perl with white 22" and his brake calipers painted white and grille and headlight houseing all painted white to match the car. Lookd amazing i am prob going to do the same but I wont be running the white wheels

Mostly all the white rims on a white car i've seen were plain ol ugly, untill i saw one sti with white and white rims wow couldnt have been any better, have you ever thought about lime green te37s? They look amazing with a white car... colors clash..

Would be VERY hard to make white wheels look good on an SC in my opinion.

I agree, the design, lip, and fitment would have to be perfect
