Default White car going nuts looking for rims

I've searched EVERY WHERE~! I can't seem to find any white z's with rims. I'm wondering what kinda rim looks good on a Z period. Let alone what color and style. I want some 18's so 18x8's any style any color. Chrome lips not a must but its nice to have.

I really like those! I've been heavily consider those style of rims. I don't so much the fact they don't have the lip though. I would rather have something that compliments the contour and slopes. I've seen a few cars with the bronze rims I think they look best of black. I've been looking at other white cars and so far I think that light polished wheels and or gun metal seems be the best way to go. Black just seems to leave more to be desired. If you put alot of black accents I could see a good deep dish 5 spoke black wheel.

Work VS-XX in gold or silver
Work Meister S1-R in black
PIAA Super Rozza in silver or hyper black (which is not very dark actually)
Volk SF Challenge in gold, or silver
RH Pro J5 in silver

That's pretty much a list of my favorite rims, with the colors that I think would look good on white.

Oh yeah, and you don't want 18x8. You want something like 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear. Or 18x9 F, 18x10 R. Just for example.

Thanks all for the input! I've been considering heavily on a spaced 5 spoke in a dark silver, light hyperblack or a smokey gunmetal. I have still have yet to buy a Z yet. I'm in the desert doing my time but the first thing when I get back on the agenda is to go car shopping. BTW what states don't have sales tax? I've still gotta decide between white or black :P I know the rims I'm getting with the black ride. I will be getting rims ASAP when I get the ride hence why I got this post up. I plan on getting an 04 maybe 05 if I can get a deal. I know pleathering can still be a problem that and the stock rims are FUGLY!! Anywho thanks

You don't pay sales tax unless you're ordering from the same state you live in (IIRC)

Can't remember who this car belonged to. I've really started to like the look of a white Z with dark tint and rims.

Its not a Z - but its white...i went with silver with a polished lip for a sporty yet classy look. People ask me if my car is a Porche or Ferrari (no joke) - i dont think theyd ask that if i was sittin on black or gold wheels.

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE BLACK AND GOLD WHEELS, but they give off more of a "tuner look" than a silver or more basic colored wheel.

Just my $.02

Heres some pics...



Good Luck

MAN! I'm really digging those Piaa's!! thanks Z-incognito! I've also got alot of interest in Maya's Dtm wheel. I think 5 star rims are the best pattern for this car. A very very close 2nd is the BBS ligen style.
