Honest answer is it depends on what kind of "look" you are looking for. Do you want the rims to stand out and contrast or blend in. For a contrast, or for the more "off the wall" colors (i.e. mag blue, bronze, gold, black). If you want it to blend in....then the silvers (i.e. silver, mercury, even gun metal) will work.

The nature of pearl white though.....I would use a shiny silver if you choose a silver. I dont think that the gun metal would look that great due to it being a little "flat" in color. In fact....if they dont have the color that you are looking for and you have to order it in anyway...order in the Mercury Silver. Its a slight darker shade of silver to offer some contrast but not too dark to overpower the pearl in the white.

On a off topic...never ask a girls opinion on rims or things like that. They will almost always choose anything that is shiny....just because it is shiny. Kidding.

In the end....its still your choice....once again....depends on what look you are trying to achieve.

Simple though....shiny = more "upscale" look....painted and darker = more aggressive in appearance. Pick your poison.

im so on the fence. i love how the GT series look, but i dont want to run a heavier wheel than stock, and loose performance. I agree that is the hard part of this white. it sparkles! so its going to have to take a well chosen wheel to look good with the color.

p.s, i dont take my GF's advice, but she gives it anyways. she generally has very good taste for an unbiased opinion. she prefers the flat black GT 30's with the polished lip.

wheel choices suck! a wheel can make, or break a car.........
