Not sure what if would look like with all black. If you had white roof/mirrors it would go, but you've got the stealthy thing going on!!

To be honest i dont think it would like right.. Black wheels on a black car would be much better, plus less cleaning too

Keep them like they are at the moment mate they look tip top I think you can only pull off having white wheels when you have something else white on your car as mentioned before, for instance white roof or white side stripes or something. A friend of mine has white wheels at the moment and he's having them refurbed in black because its such a pain in the ass keeping them clean!

All of the above ring true: white wheels on black car work if mirrors, bonnet stripes etc &/or roof done too. White wheels will make you hate brake dust & never use your brakes unless essential. And deep dish or chromed outter rims never look good with white centres IMHO
