White rims on a white car looks nice.
White rims on any other color looks rice.

You could look into getting your rims powdercoated to match the color of your car likes SprintMax did. His looks pretty nice.

Hm, if you're looking for a Euro look, keep the rims silver. I dunno, your car reminds me a lot of the personality of an Audi or BMW, and I like it that way.

White rims IMO are reserved for the civic/integ crowd. Keep it classy with silver.

Do it if you like it. What does white rims have to do with being ricey. Another reason why most cars on the org look the same.

well dashing i have to put it like this, i have a set of white te37's in fran turismo 3 and when i tried to put it on certain cars it jus looks weird. its like putting running shoes on when youre wearing a suit or for the ladies a dress. i think the max is a classy looking car and white rims look like "sneakers" on it.. however with your white maybe itll work

hmm...white, or silver??? how about what i just put on my car over the weekend...WHITE AND SILVER!!! yup Rtechs just came out with some new rims that happened to catch my eye at a shop near my house and i fell in love at first sight...theyre beautiful...as soon as i get pics i will post them up, until then be patient...i know i am probably the first you will see with these, and that is the greatest feeling...hard to describe but, its mainly white-the lip, the inside, the spokes but then the spokes and lip also have a metallic silver strip running through them, and there is a chrome center cap..so there is silver and white in one rim...some might think its tacky or ricey or jus wierd or watver but hey if everyone ha the samethoughts and opinions then everyone would have the same max with the same mods and we dont want that, being unique to your own taste is good

I used to have an '87 SE that was white with white Enkei's. Back in the day (showing my age), it was called the AMG style and was VERY european, not ricey. in fact, there was no such thing as "Ricey" because back in the day you would get laughed at for modifying a Honda in ANY way. Ah, I miss the old days. Anyway, the point I was going to make is that, I used to get quite a few comments on that car and it's all a matter of PERSONNAL taste. Do it if you like it!
