What would you do?

if you go white car with black rims, you really need to add other parts to the car black as well, to give the contrast, pure white car with just black wheels doesn't look as good, you'd need to black out all your silver bits if you went black wheels to keep it clean looking.

When I say polished, I mean full polished (the entire rim, not just the lip).

I would. That's why I said the headlights would be getting painted to match and the Sunline front lip, the part over the fangs, would be black (along with the fangs themselves). As well as the rear "diffuser."

lol, you aren't getting what I'm saying. I was saying if I got an matte black rim (the entire rim being matte black), I'd be afraid of that huge donut look because the tire is black (obviously). You have a little separation because you have that chrome lip edge so it breaks it up nicer, plus it's gloss. It's clearly not dull like matte.

I'm thinking black chrome now. Best of both worlds?
