I would just find a set of rims that you like and get them powder coated, it'd save you time and you would end up with something you want instead of something you settled for just because it is white.

ah come on dude dont go with white on such a rich color. you have to go with chrome or color match the car on the rims with a chrome or polished lip. white would look ricey

Damn I love that color on the Alero...white wouldn't look too bad on it, but I still think chrome would be best... do what you want man.

Same here. Colored rims of any kind just aren't my thing but white would at least be tolorable on a Navy blue car

i think it'd look fine if you did a white and blue theme...the rims can't be the only thing white on the car though...you have to see an earlier version of robbie's aftermath...white rims and graphics and so forth...decent

Well, again its a matter of personal opionion.

No offense to you, as I see you have black rims for your black car, but if I saw your car at a glance I would think you had steel rims without hubcaps.

Chrome rims for sure let people know that you actually have rims, and white rims on a blue car would do the same.

right because steel wheels have polished lips on them and come in 18 inch

white rims on a navy blue car looks ghetto ricey. white rims in general are ricey. like i said, why ruin a rich luxurious color with cheap ricey looking wheels.

LOL, you've got me there. In my defense I did say at a glance...but I do see where you're coming from.

Edit: Also, I never said that I liked white rims, just that they would be tolorable on a blue car, meaning, that if you had to have white rims, blue is an alright paint color to pair them with.
