I like it alot as is too, but I've always been a fan of a tasteful chrome wheel and those look great to my eyes; DIY chrome grill, chrome door handles, and trunk bar would set them off on a white car.

That's just my opinion though and it doesn't mean much, are you all-around opposed to chrome or just the way those wheels flow on your car? I'd think about what you could do to make them work before you refinish them.

You just need to lower the car at least an inch more.

that's one of my favorite wheels.. imho, i think they look better with silver, but you have a white car, you can go either way.

Interesting color combo and a bold change from the chrome look. Go for it. Something different is always worth a shot. Get some good close up before and afters of the wheels.
