Opinions on white rims on white car

[Heidi]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, I'm quiet nervous typing this feels like I'm about to give a speech haha.
(Please don't mind me if I don't use technical words)

I recently bought a 08 SV6.. and there were a little things that I didn't like when I first purchased the car such as the Chev badges, although the previous owner insisted on not removing them, I just had too I wasn't feeling it. I ended up replacing them with black badges, although I wanted a badge-less boot, when I removed the old chev badge there was a hole that would of looked very ugly uncovered. And then there was the commodore badge on the boot, that came off easily but the glue residue just wouldn't come off, I literally tried everything. I will get around to the badge-less boot soon though.

So I'm in a bit of a pickle. When I first purchased the car I wasn't the biggest fan of the colour of the rims white on white just seemed to tacky for me, but then I think it kinda grew on me but I'm still not 100%. I would personally paint them black but I'm still unsure, what's everyones opinions?

I think the rims don't look too bad, but hey it's your car, as long as you are happy with the way it looks then it don't matter what any body else thinks.

chev badges suck +1 internets for removing them.

that is all.

They don't look that bad but I would paint them black.

That wheel would probably look better either all white or all black, not that two tone that's going on

I actually think they suit the color scheme of the car. Dutch the bonnet protector though, that makes it look cheap.

At the end of the day it's your car, don't worry about what a bunch of muppets on a forum think because everyone has different tastes.

Rims look good on the car....So as long as your happy, stuff what others think....As for the bonnet protector....Might look cheap, but will save hundreds in stone chip repairs.....So choice is yours there

Looks good IMO. The norm is to get black rims, you don't see too many white on white cars going around. I say keep it the way it is!

Paint them solid white instead of that black with white faces IMO. I have white wheels on my white VE, looks horn IMHO LOL

White G8 rims with a black face really suit your car.
