to Change or not to change
 

My car is white and the fuch's were painted to match. They are showing minor chips etc...

Re-paint to match car
Paint black or some other color
strip and leave brushed aluminum look

T82,

They look very narrow in the pic (?) Maybe sell your fronts, paint the rears black and move them to the front and then buy a set of black 8" wide fuchs for the back?

Just my idea. Looks good on mine anyhow.

Perhaps they just look narrow, is the white removing all depth?

With a white car the rim color choices are many. You could choose a color to play off your top or interior.

If you like flashy consider a color with a little contrast.
I painted these old Simmons rims medium blue metallic, use them for my AX tires.
You can play it safe with the factory black background, though it might loose the unique look you have now.
Maybe polished rims with a (pick one ;) ) med blue, red or green factory background

For example...

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I always prefer to see Fuchs painted black. except on really early cars, where polished looks good.

Thanks for the input guys, the rear tires are 50 series and the front 60s, the interior is a dark navy blue.

I'll mull it over I do powder coating and the mirror black is real nice, on the other hand the blue anodized finish is hot also, I think I have to do something other than the white, the rims look very nice (style, width etc.) and if I choose the right complement I think they can look even better, I'll submit before and after pics when the time comes, thanbks again.

i like the white look.
it only works with white cars and really adds to the appearance in my opinion.
