There are some members here that are riding 7th gen rims. You can just check out the photos for some kind of "idea". I'm riding on 7th gen rims with a silver body. -------------------- |

Try dipping them white. If you like them, I'd recommend a glossy white.

Are you planning on painting your car or you planning to just leave it primered? If you're going to get it painted then I'd recommend just wait and see what color you choose for you body paint then decide on what color you want your rims. -------------------- |

There was a local car show/meet not too long ago here in Puerto Rico and there was this dude in a Starlet. At first it looked like matte gray+ clear, but when I asked, it was primer + urethane as clear coat. It looked so nice and shiny.
As for the color of the wheels... white in general is hard to keep clean. If you decide to paint them white, use some wax on them and wipe them every now and then with some quick detailer. Plastidip should be easier to keep clean, because you could wipe it off with soapy water. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

I'm always a fan of black metallic for wheels.
