White and red go together rather well. I will post some pics up of red Subies with white wheels

Red and white--yes. Claret is not red.

Non-neutral [anything that isn't a shade of gray] rims are a tough game. I find that everyone is a minority when it comes to anything but silver or gold or black or chrome wheels, and I am not even a fan of black or chrome.
In my extremely critical opinion silver is always a win, gold is usually a win, chrome is just gaudy, every other color/finish fails the vast majority of the time [yes, even you, bronze]. White wheels can makes any car look CHEAP because white paint or powder coating tends to resemble plastic. Unless you like to stand out for the sake of standing out, and I know some people do, stay away from non-metallic wheel finishes. Just as a color combination, though, I think white and claret would look nice. Better than white and red, for sure.

Re: white rims ?
Not as bad as I expected, THB. That's bordeaux, btw
Claret might actually look different due to the black upper part.

Re: white rims ?
Just got it from here: http://tbcwheels.ridestyler.com/?mode=webtk
I adjusted the color as best I could and there's no option for the black top.

If on Mac, pressing Command+shift+3 will take a picture of the whole screen, while Command+shift+4 will allow you to select a certain part of the screen. These images will save to the desktop. |

I got this.
I also take back what I said about claret looking better than red with white, then again these white wheels don't look white enough.

Re: white rims ?
I think those all look good but I like white rims. It is pain in the a** to keep it clean but when those are clean .... priceless...
Generally you can say that white rims add more rally/racing look to you car, depends on you that you like it or not.
