Default What color rims for a white car???

I have a 95 Civic EX 4 door with a custom white paint job. I'm getting 15" Rota Slipstreams but I'm undecided on which color would look the best. Please take the poll.

Mang, everyone's getting Rota Slipstreams. Frankly I'm sick of it. Get some old school White TE-37s.

Too expensive from what I have seen. I like the spoon rims but I can't afford them so I want to get rota's which look the same.

added steel gray option...hope j00 dun mind.

i think rota slips are played out on h-t.com, but in the real world, i only know one other guy with them, & hes got black 15" slips on his PY ITR, & im gonna get 16" steel grey

good price + light weight + looks good = for slips

White ones would look good but I also am a fan of silver.
BTW: you left the poll open which is no longer kosher with the mods.

IMO white looks best on white or red cars... Sometimes Si blue too... just stay away from chrome j/k

As long as you dont use those stupid white tail light covers that make your inner tail light a circle cuz those ruin a car... It really looks bad, especially if you do get white rims cuz then its just too much white and the white guy driving it doesnt help either =P Sorry dont take any of that personal I saw some guy driving a white bondo ride today with that exact setup on a 5 gen sedan... his car was just really ugly...

I have black slipstreams and sliver enkeis.

But I love the enkei RS-5s and 5 plus rims from Discount Tire.
