White wheels on a red car = BAD IDEA! White wheels are by far the hardest color to pull off and still look good. The only color white wheels even remotely look decent on is a white car itself. Even at that they don't always look right.

I would go gunmetal or black or even silver. Sometimes bronze wheels don't look to shabby on red. Please, do not go white!

Yea if not white then black or chrome, im not a fan of gunmetal it just looks like a dirty wheel IMO. Your totally right tho white is hard to pull off. Plus it would be the only thing white on my car. OK OK you talked me out of it. LoL. Or maby i talked myself out of it i dono its late.

White decals and vinyl look good on red. White wheels, maybe, but you will have to be very particular on what style and what type of white.. If you go with a black wheel with a chrome lip, that would look hot. Good luck. Check out cardomain.com for some crazy pics, maybe you'll come across the color scheme that you're looking for.

Friends do let friends ride on chrome!

How about some nice lightweight 17" or 18" Rotas? That is if they have what you're looking for. Not quite sure what your price range is either.

i would rather have a "functional" wheel than a "flashy/show" wheel, if that makes sence. So like if they are on the ulgy side but are like feathers ide take them. Price range no more than like $1,5OO for wheels/tires but W/E it will take some saving no matter what the price is. Does any one else agree w/ me about function over style. Some times the more functional ones are the best looking.

Since when does any rim color scream rice?! **** people slangin this term around acting like they know what it is, you have no ******* idea. Do some research before using a term you dont have any clue about or else you sound like ass hat. goodday
