If I had a white Tib I personally would go with a set of white rims. I think the white would look a bit better than the gunmetal, but go with what you like the best!!! Got any pics of the rims you are looking at???

Well..just to let ya know..I had Konig Verdicts on my ride, and they were white. Looked sweet! Could of also been the fact that they were 19's too! rolleyes.gif And my current rims are Tenzo R Shu-4's, in white finish also. They're pretty big rims as well. I will tell you that the only draw back about having white rims is that they get EXTREMELY dirty quite quickly. Even if you have dustless brake pads, white rims still get quite dity from road crap. Otherwise, white rims looks sweet. I'm not a big fan of Gunmetal rims unless you have a dark colored car. But for white, I would stay with white rims in my opinion. wink.gif But it's all up to you. You're ride so get what you like. smile.gif wink.gif

I got white 17s on my white Elantra and they look hot...a white car w/ white rims is does look good, but gun metal has that one-off look. I was thinking about getting a set of gun metal 16s for the winter...Bascially my point is I dont think u would go wrong either way...gun metal does look hot on white cars too...

ok. gunmetal is tight. white is tight. if you have a white car you can go either way. i wouldnt go gunmetal unless i had more black on the car. like a cf hood. or if my interior were to stay black (maybe) gunmetal is tight and i was going to do it before but id say white if its just the regular white ride. but at the same time. for some reason. white rims look kinda cheap. dont know why.
