What about gunmetal grey? I have a 2K6 with 19's and will probably go that route, whenever I replace my tires last year.

I actually think the white would look good. I used to have an Acura Type R that was white w/white and it looked great. Black/dark grey wheels are getting overdone in my opinion, and they seem to really dull a car down and kind of look like a NASCAR or something. Plus it's easy to get lazy with dark wheels and leave them break dusty too much, which looks like ***. But it's all individual taste, your the one that will look at it the most

I've seen ads with a G riding on white Volk TE-37s that looked very good. White is lots of cleaning, but we all clean the heck out of our cars anyway right? It's a good look, maybe more sporty than classy, but I don't happen to think black wheels look very classy either.

Those do look good. On a white car (and a white car only) I still think that would look very good, as would the OE 19s in white.

I have OEM Ray's powder coated semi-gloss black, if those white OEM 18's are just painted there going to chip. And if there powder coated they might crack, so do your homework on them.

Well if there not forged they do have a chance a cracking, it happened to a guy on my350. One of his rims broke at all 5 lug holes, from the heat stress of powder coating.

Thanks man, mine are the OEM ray's, you can probably find someone here trying to sell theirs

I can't afford the Volk GTS Phanotoms right now, so I opted just to PC mine instead of wasting money on cheap rims.
