VR with white rims?

my corners are tinted, but i thought if i went to clear corners i would need some other white color on the car to match it. cant just let it stand out all by itself.

white and white, blue and white, green and white, they all look good. and im pretty sure red and white will look pretty nice too.

anyone have any pics of VR with white rims? i want to paint the oe rims white, but i wanna see some pics first.

^^to what? white oem wheels, or white wheels to red rx8's? or just in general?

i don't think it'll be that bad...i just find having 2 sets of silver wheels to be...boring. making me despite having my oem wheels now.

and i have seen red on white wheels... an FD with revomasters...looks amazing.

DO IT. i wanna see. but unfortunately, i've ran some black pin-stripe on my car...so it'll be hard to make my vr flow with all the different colors.
may consider after seeing on your car though.

too many dude avatars in this thread.

white wheels with VR will really depend on the overall execution of the car.
