I know I'm the exception here, but I've never been a fan of black wheels for some weird reason (except maybe on a black car)

I do love the OEM silver look with the VR, but the idea of white wheels caught my attention and I wanted more pics. Looking for some wheels for my summer tires.

9krpmrx8: LOL, man...I actually like the OEMs in white...never seen that before.

Thanks for pix.

You have to see the white wheels in person to make a real judgement.
It's nice to be different.

Just read this out of context.

I'm not a big fan of all black wheels either. Makes the wheel arches stand out more and when dark out it's like a big empty area. Having said that, I've seen some nice applications of black wheels with some added details like a thin red stripe around the edge, combined with an all black or red car.

Don't remind me, my baby needs a solid day of cleaning, claybarring, and waxing. If this damn rain will every go away and it will warm up a bit it's on like donkey kong.

Heya Pico.. it was a loonnng decision for me to put the wing; the car itself looks good without the wing, but I wanted something to break the shape of the rear
