I'd stick with white. I put chromed wheels on mine and wish id just got painted wheels.

Once the chrome gets a bit rusty its a bugger to sort. At least painted wheels you can give them a quick rub down and paint them any colour you want.

Ive recently done mine black and imo they look good but nearly everything is black now, just makes it easier to sort out touch ups :lol:
