18' white rims?? Options

[KB-2]

so one of my friends is selling his 18' five spoke rims for about $550 w/out the tires..the rims are white....my car is also white....adn i was wondering what you guys think of white on white?? i think it looks ''clean'' or ''smooth'' but then alot of ppl say it looks gay...so i was just wondering what your thoughts are...?

black + black = smooth

blue + gold = subaru

any color + gunmetal = super smooth

white + white = not sweet

i'd discourage you from picking them up. what kind of wheels are they anyway? if they're a good brand like bbs or something and he's asking 1/2 price for them and they're in great shape...i guess it would be a good deal. but keep in mind that they're going to require 40 series or smaller tires, and you'll probably be at a grand once you put on decent rubber.

i don't want to be a bummer, but i'd hate to see you pick up the wheels, be dissatisfied with the overwhelming whiteness of the things, have a stroke when you see how much tires are, and regret the sacrifice in ride quality for some looks.

if you want to spend 500-600 bucks on rims alone, there are some really nice non-white wheels you can pick up for cheap in 17's, like rota slipstreams.
