Only because I hate black (can you even see them?), I would go for white. But polished aluminum is the best.

If I can only choose between the two, I pick black. If you go with white, there is too much of one color. If you are open to suggestions, you may want to try a machine faced black wheel.

If I was to choose between what you presented, black. The white rims just doesn't look right to me.

I think the white rims look pretty sharp! Definitely a different look.

I think the white is actually pretty cool looking on that car, but it's kind of an 80s vibe. Jean jackets and stretch pants made a comeback though. Of course stretch pants are now called yoga pants. Who knows, you might revive an autmotive trend...

Black and add a rim pin stripe if you want a contrast

I like the white wheels in this instance. Just looks more custom. If it had the black mirrors I'd probably go with the black wheels.

I like the white out of those two choices but you would need to keep them spotless to pull off the look in my opinion. If you are not one for keeping the wheels clean, go with black.

Black in this case. Contrasts nicely with the top

Chrome but if you have to choose I would go with black. I didn't like the white.

The white rims fascinate me, but over all, I think the black rims work better. I'd pick black...

I like the white rims . . I think it looks good on the Vette but, for most cars I would pick the black.

If you have a Leisure suit and paisley shirt in the closet from the 70's pick white. Otherwise black. But polished aluminum or chrome would look even better
