Stock White Rims on W. Blue (Photoshop)
Okay - so apparently no one has ever done this, and if they have they sure didn't post a pic anywhere. Haven't played with Photoshop in a while, so if you can do better feel free.
Thoughts on how the rims would look?

get some S-techs or something to lower it slightly and you'll be set...

I think there needs to be some more white on the car somewhere, or maybe the lowering would help. I liked the white rims that were on the blue MP3 Proteges if anyone knows what I am talking about. But this just looks slightly off to me, not bad, just like it is missing something.
Edit: It is the rims that throw me, I saw a couple pics of other winning blu with white rims and I like how they look. Once again, These aren't bad, just not my first choice for white rims

Strakes... I'll have to think about that... I love my blue ones. =(
Oh - and just an fyi, it's white stock rims, or silver stock rims... I'm not buying new rims. Unless you can find me some good ones that are white for less than 300. =)

Okay - updated with some ideas: White cap, white strakes, clear corners. I think it will look quite nice.
The rear has white license plate, and I could always paint the rotor accents white (hmmm). On the right side, I could throw a white rotor sticker on teh back window (like one of Polak's).
Yes, I know my PS skills are not good. =)

I like the paint the rotor idea, here is a thought....and actually something I will be doing with the RC3 (Chicago) logo once it is finalized. You could use the rotor from polak's rx8club vinyl.
Just the rotor, bottom of the B-Pillar on both sides.
If you want the white on blue effect with those, you could put them at the same height, in between the rear window and the suicide doors.

I always liked white rims, and I think white rims on blue is very nice....however, I don't think the stock rims will turn out nice in white...
Here's my winter rims...

I think the white on blue looks good. I wouldn't worry about trying to make other things white (especially not the gas cap). There was one other RX-8 I remember seeing on here that was blue with white wheels. I'll see if I can find the pictures...
