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.

I'm with ya on that one rafaga. I'd go white before I'd go black.

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.

the work emotions don't look nearly as good in white. sometimes white rims do look really good... even on red cars, but white rims on a vr8 is just not doin' it for me -.-

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
