I`ve saw some pretty odd color combos look good together. But white on silver just looks silly IMO.

Not a cobalt but white wheels on a silver car none-the-less.

As with most everything it`s just a matter of personal taste. There just isn`t enough contrast, the rims just don`t ``pop`` for me.

Paint isn`t expensive.. Grab a deck of cards to shove between the rim and tire and some different colors and just experiment if they are gonna be primarily your winter shoes.

Until you drive with them and they get brake dust on them, then they look dirtiest of all...

Even those were a PITA to keep clean.

I think the white on silver combo looks pretty clean. I'm also interested in seeing some white on white. It's just an idea I had for my white SS, but I don't know if I'd ever do it. I'm all about that 'enhanced' stock look.

Anyway, if you like the white on silver, go for it. It definitely looks nice in my opinion.

i would go with gold. or even red imo. white and silver is alright but nothing to look at. now i have a friend with a black balt with white rims and red lug nuts that looks sex.
