I am with you there. What do you like? Are you going for a more modern theme, or are you sticking to the usual path? I personally like the black wheels, it would look better with the lip left the chrome/polished. So its up too you. Either way your car will look good. Keep us updated.

Trust me. I realize and I'm under complete control of what I do. It's me. However, I'm not very much on the creative side. The real point of this thread is to see if I can get any other ideas, make me think a little bit more, get my neurons to fire in places where they haven't. The majority won't always rule, unless they agree with my opinion :P.

I was thinking of doing the same but I was thinking of a pewter color with all blacked out wheels. I would powder coat them. Alot of people here stick to the same look and it looks great but go with what makes you happy. Yeah it looks weird stock but it's not like you want it stock. I can tell you'll get a kit soon after this. Get what you want.

I personally like the black wheels, it would look better with the lip left the chrome/polished. But I am also younger than most, and most teenagers believe the darker the better on everything. So its up too you. Either way your car will look good. Keep us updated.. After looking at it again, it doesn't look bad. Would you be getting black emblems or taillights too?

something kind of sinister about black wheels, but....
I dunno anymore man, everybody has them now... a few years ago I'd have said do it.
I'm going back to gold bbs wheels...sick man. These cars were designed in the 90's

I just might be doing this. We'll see. Emblems might be black to match, I will definitely have a matching engine bay, (Black engine bay with gold accents such as gold foil in hot areas and gold bolts. Something along those lines, still putting my ideas together) if I go this route. Can't wait until I get a break from school to start somewhere. Won't be much longer

I think those BBS's are tight. They are gonna look good on that White. My SC is Black and I went with XXR 521's. I think the Satin or Gloss Black road is nice man. Again, Black out your Chrome window trim. It looks out of place with no other Chrome on the car.

Gloss black wheels look great- not so much a fan of satin. And gloss black on a white car especially is great, but I agree with STRTORPTR's comment about aggressive body lines such as this:
And if you're going to do it on a white car, have contrasting bolts, either chrome or gold.
