I think it cheapens the look of a beautiful car.

I personally wouldn't run the white wheels but I can't say I hate it. It's unique and will stand apart from the crowd. What first comes to mind is constant wheel cleaning.....

I cant imagine trying to keep white wheels clean, haha. That's gotta be like 2 full time jobs.

Now that you mention it, it has to be more of full time job than a black car.

Doesnt look horrible but it seems like something a 20yr old would do with an import.

Maybe if the car had a set of white full length stripes, then the wheels might seem more purposeful

Maybe we are all viewing this the wrong way. The "Night Race Blue" almost black body is not riding on white wheels...the wheels are "Egg Shell"

White wheels was a bit of, trend for a while, at least in west Michigan back when I was in high school about 1966. I had a dark blue 59 Chevy with white painted steelies. It was controversial then too.

I like it, but I agree it might be hard to keep clean
