White rims on a red S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

What do you guys think?

Takumi · 01-21-2002, 01:40 AM

Not like it's really "rice" or anything, but it's been too overdone. Usually white wheels on a red car or any car for that matter is normally associated with show cars. Therefore...

Show cars = rice according to those standards in some cases. I'd say just go with whatever looks decent to you. I personally like bronze or gunmetal wheels on a red car.

nahhhhhh it's not rice. Guys in Japan do it as well... just don't get a large wing with it hehe

White rims on red cars look very good IMO.  But have you thought about a dark anthrecite (gun metal) instead?  Even when your rims are dirty, you can't see the brakedust. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I have white rims on a white car.  They get dirty in a matter of minutes.  Looks good, but requires a lot of elbow grease, and patience.

gregshin · 01-21-2002, 08:34 AM

hmm...i was thinking gun metal gray also....yeah the brake dust is also a concern too

DJ Machine · 01-21-2002, 08:38 AM

brake dust would be MUCH more noticable with white rims than it would with gunmetal gray ones.

RoNx777 · 01-21-2002, 08:39 AM

White rims are "REALLY" hard to maintain.

gregshin · 01-21-2002, 09:10 AM

alright you guy just killed my white rims idea. are you guys happy now? =P

thewholefnshow · 01-21-2002, 02:12 PM

Lol... I am going mad max with my car, jet black, gun metal. tinted windows... I don't car if it is a cop magnet, it is what I want. and that is all that matters... if you want white mags that should be all that matter too.

S13 Passion · 01-21-2002, 03:10 PM

well, my definition of "ricey" is someone trying so hard to make their car look good by using cheap ass shit or slap on things that just dont look right.  

in this case for the white rims, i would love them and i would think they are fine.

gregshin · 01-21-2002, 03:15 PM

oh now ya'll just playing with my emotions. As the once wise big perm from friday said...."playing with my money is like playing with my emotions SMOKEY"

White rims look tight as #### on red cars. TE37s would look very yum yum. I was thinking of some, but I don't want to have to deal with dirt/brake dust.

my240likenoother · 01-21-2002, 06:01 PM

i was woundering the same thing when i was looking for my new rims but i think that a silver rim looks more classy IMO

*Grant* · 01-21-2002, 06:17 PM

Well I had White 17's on my old prelude (red), and some kids walked by and started screaming "GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!!!" needless to say I got rid of the rims 2 weeks later (well I had a hard time catching up with Civic DX's as well)

Marita · 01-21-2002, 06:22 PM

if u like it go for it...its your car...thats my opinion...

Arcane · 01-21-2002, 06:49 PM

silver is the only color rims should be...but then again-my opinion....

jyt747 · 01-21-2002, 07:00 PM

I don't think it's ricey. If you're using the stereotypical definition of ricey, they're not ricey unless they're some cheap knockoffs of another brand. Doesn't matter what color they are.
