Pretty much anything works on a white car. White, grey, gunmetal, black, bronze, take your pick.

Think of a spoked wheel, like a bicycle. the outer solid peice is the RIM the entire unit is the WHEEL. On a car, unless you have a multi-peice wheel with a separate RIM part, its called WHEEL because the spokes and outer part are 1 peice.

hey dude.. i started a popular thread on this in the suspension/wheels forum.. it's called "post pics of dark rims on fc". I thought dark rims (or wheels or ricers or whatever you guys feel like you need to call them) look the best (as in the rx7club logo.. i think the ones in the logo are enkei mmr2s gunmetal with a polished lip). Nice aren't they?

Anyways.. let me know what you choose.

Chris
