those rims on red? na. maybe alloy, but not white. white doesnt go with many car colors similar to black not going with many colors. you get white rims on a red car, ur gonna take a lot from the red car.

but his car is very nice in red. if pure white wheels sit under it. they will pull away from the red. now alloy or black would do better. just like brighter wheels on a darker car do better.

I tend to disagree with you.  Bright colored cars with black rims look dirty.  I personally would accent the white rims with some red to match the car.  White rims look better on a red car than most other colors.  Of course this is all opinion and everyone has one, kinda like butts.

u sure that the quote is butts? or u censoring yourself for the youngster of the forum?. alloy u cant go wrong hehe. i dont like black wheels at all. or gun metals. due to what bob said, they look like they are always dirty. black on black is a fade. it wont last long hehe.
