Frost white for sure it'd look good with blue, white goes good with everything or go get them sand blassted and put some elbow grease and polish them bad boys( i like polished) but if painting is cheaper go white!

white wheels do look sexy on a blue car, but then so does bronze. flip a coin lol. if you're planning on selling them in the near future, you can't go wrong with polishing them either

having had white wheels in the past, make sure that you have a decent set of brakes that don't leave brake dust all over your wheels

Wax the wheels, just like the rest of the painted parts of the car, after washing. This will help prevent the dust from sticking, and makes rinsing them off much easier.
