Honestly switch it up. Dare to be different...the reason that all of us spend money on modifying our cars is because we don't like to be like the crowd....so step out the box and come up with something fly. For all you know once you do it, a ton of other people may follow.

I know this wasn't what you were thinking about doing but here is an idea. Try painting the wheels white. I saw this on several cars lately here in Atlanta. I have attached a couple of pics of the wheels painted white on the new Bently Coupe. It all comes down to what is going to set YOUR soul on fire when you walk out to the car.

yea i'm with you but the whole white on white is so 80's miami vice.......i've seen in on bigger cars like a S-class or 7 series but smaller cars that do it look ugly....when it somes to wheels its hard to do something to be different without looking ugly

Leave them the way they are. Nothing wrong with them the way they are.
