You got to be joking.

This is a German Luxo sport coupe/sedan not some ricemobile. Get some nice looking alloy wheels. Go chrome, gun metal, hypersilver , anthracite or even black(ugh!). Whatever foats your boat. But IMHO, white will look like A$$! That being said, if you REALLY like white wheels, get them and don't give a damn if I think they look like A$$. Its your car and you can do what you want and if others, like me, don't like it(and they pobably won't) thats our problem not yours.

I'm not as dramatic as the rest of these guys, but I dont think white would work. High polish, chrome, or maybe even black will work.

Me too ... I have white wheels on my white evo .... they get dirty quick but not any harder to clean then any other wheel. Black and Gunmetal are getting played so if you want to be different then go for it. Its your car do what makes you happy and how cares about the haters:

Pic of my car:



and no the rear bumper matches fine ... the car is filty dirty in that pic as it was taken after it rained here in Vegas.

I'm new to the forum and not trying to make waves but isn't there a better
term to describe distastfully modified cars than "ricer" or "rice". Pretty racist
sounding to me.

I agree with you but its not ment to be racist and its a common term used on all forums for cars that people think look like crap.

I have seen white wheels work on blue cars before, but they were more track oriented cars. I don't think that it will really fit the styling of your car IMO. On montego blue I think that any type of gunmetal or silver finish will work great.

Interesting, you suggest chrome wheels but think white looks bad in comparison Chrome wheels are the ones that look horrible is most cases, not colored wheels. Also, white wheels don't mean ricemobile, imo when I think ricemobile I think spinner hubcaps or steelies. Then there are the people with massive chrome rims. Yeah, they look better than white

Not racist at all. It's a term used to describe cars with horrible mods.
