White would not work with those wheels on any car, especially not a white one.

A very light smoke might look good. Post up a photo of your car from the same angle and see if someone can paintshop a few different options for you.

this is the closest ive got

Black would look good on a white car. like the current mini.

Black or dark grey for me on a white car. Black wheels on a white car is the big new(ish) look, I would go for a really dark grey.

ive gone for a dark grey, ive dont the backs in gloss black and will be doing the front in a ford polaris grey. hopefully itll look ok ,....

I though you meant different colour front and back wheels for a minute

 

[Adam-D]

no, lol

and with the over spray the back of the wheels is gonna be almost the same as the front,.

they are quite badly kerb'd high build primer is struggling. we will see tomorow when i flat it down.

Thunder etc stoppedme today, but i managed to get them rubbed down, there about 80% right not perfect but hey ho, not bad for my first go.

then rubbed down and primer'd

will carry on on wednesday, need to flat the primer and put the color on and then laquer it
