Default White Alloys???

Only just bought my scooby but already thinkin of putting a little personal touch to it, i have been thinkin about white alloys and heres a quick photoshop of the car with them on. Would people please give me some honest feedback as i think white could be a big risk to take. I recommend clicking on the pictures because photobucket resize's them.

Before


After


Thanks Guys

Melon.

Anthracite would look better on your car IMO, white just looks wrong

Stick with a dark colour. Keep the wheels and get them recoated instead.

i went from those wheels mate to Bronze rota's and they really set the paint work off well, but like mervil said anthracite is a great colour and my wheels are going for a refurb and a change to that colour once spring comes round

Don't do it, White on Blue looks good but not mica Red.

as already said, Stick with a dark colour, Bronze looks good but I'd be tempted with gun metal or anthracite

They look ok but I agree with a few of the other comments, anthracite Rota GRA's or bronze Rays/PFF7's is the way to go on dark red.

I dont mind that with white wheels on to be honest but each to their own. Been thinking of geting the wheels on my GTB done in white but dont know if it will look too muchwith the car being white too.
