What color/finish of wheels for a white car?

White is so versatile - it may be less the color, but the style of wheel? I went with CCW chrome 505As. I could not be happier, but there are so many other options out there. With white, you really can not go wrong with almost any choice - the most versatile color IMO. If I wanted to go super aggressive, I would go BLACK, otherwise CHROME
If the wheels are all black, I don't care for that. But, a black stripe or some accents, that I think looks sharp on some cars.
Ultimately, I think it's more about the wheel than the color. Some wheels can get away with stuff others cannot. Sorta like sticking a tight dress on the wrong girl.

Those CCW's look great on your car! I would say my car is already fairly aggressive looking, I'm kind of leaning towards the gloss gunmetal. Not black, but still dark and aggressive looking. I like aggressive looking

For those same reasons I just switched from Chrome to Gunmetal barrel with machine silver face TSW. I'm hoping I get a little bling value from the silver and a little style/aggressive value from the gunmetal two-tone look. We shall see...

While I might personally lean towards chromed with a white car, I saw a beautiful condition C4 last week that had all white wheels and I thought the look was amazing.
FWIW, I think white and black cars are the only ones with which wheels can be color matched tastefully.

I like the classic, shinny stuff myself..
These are heavy though which is something to think about.
18 with 295 up front and 19 with 345 rears
I do like the HRE

Been busy working When not working I have been catching up on house projects and helping out my bro with his Miata that he has turned into a track car.
The CCW's with black centers look great on the white FRC's I have a set of then up in the garage for SW Z06, but haven't had the time to put them on.

every show i go to i get compliments on the wheels. the pics do them no justice, every show i went to i would be lucky to see one other car (not corvette) with black chrome wheels.
im buying new weld wheels, im going to try and find someone local to black chrome them for me
