white wheels

I've seen white wheels on blue cars if there was white stripes or a white design. If the car is solid blue a safe bet would be silver or argent wheels.

first of all, get the TE37's just on principle because they are very light and make a great performing wheel. Many of the cars in my solo 1 series run them with good success. Second of all they are a very good looking wheel. The white and blue would be a GREAT setup in my opinion, they are the wheels i wanted for my black R1 but could not afford them so i opted for the simmons 3 piece. There is a pic of the blue RE amemya car somewhere with white wheels, sorry i don't have the link. Might be in the picture section of iluvmyrx7.com.

Go for it...

What color blue are going with..Either way, in my opinion a light colored white on a dark car will look sweet,

Good luck

well...it depends what kinda blue you are going with.

if your going with an electric blue....cant go wrong with bronze or gold wheels. that combo looks really nice!

if yuor getting a montego blue color or a dark blue, gunmetal rims with a polished lip look really nice.

Black cars look really cool with White wheels... but not many other color cars can pull off the white wheel look.

If it was my car I go with white if that's what I wanted. Since it's your car and you don't know what you like or can't handle the critisizim if someone else doesn't like it, I say sell the car to someone that knows what they want on it.
PS. I have white rims on my MB 94 and could careless how others feel about it (makes for a nice contrast)

I've yet to see white wheels on an FD and really like it.

The closest was white TE37s on a white FD, but the wiite FD color didn't really match...
