I like white but that is too much for me. That car is begging for an accent color. Should have at least matched the wheels with the hood stripes......

I love White
My Gallardo and new NSX were White.
I personally like the C8 in darker colors.
Still looks fine in White

I like white Corvettes too, but like someone said above, it really needs some accent colors. Plus those wheels have got to be harder to keep clean than even chrome ones!

I would disagree. In my opinion, what makes black wheels (usually) look horrible is either how they disappear from the car from a distance and all you see is the body, or when either the black rims are not clean, or worse yet when the tires look like a dirty chalky grey color.

I think the white is really not much different than silver, or polished, or chrome...at least it offers some contrast between the rims and tires.

exactly my thoughts, the car looks great I can’t believe how rude some people can be ? Obviously I love it I went out of my way on molding in body color, white wing and look at center caps !

While I think you may have a bit more white than I would have wanted. I can tell you the car looks very sharp and looks like it screams exotic. Very nice ride congratulations and drive it in good health
