Looks good glossy black. You could even take off the center caps and paint the little hubs behind it black. That would give more depth to the inner part of the rim.

I like weird stuff like that haha, makes the car stand out lol. I'm not sure about OEM painted wheels though. Doesn't look that bad, but I like the stock color better.

I think going panda has something to do with black and white... but I don't understand how white wheels would help, considering your car is white... I don't get it either.
