My old girl is Castel green with a white roof.
I'm putting narrow banded white walls on her but unsure whether to do the rims white, or green?

They look originally green (EK) but unsure whether to change because of the white wall.

thoughts???

John, I tried white band tyres on white rims and now think it's not a good combination. To me, the white rims seem to lessen the impact of the white bands.
Maybe paint them Castel green, or a darker green, or some other complimenting/contrasting colour, but NOT white...
My car is mid/dark blue and pearl white - I chose light blue (Elk Blue) for the rims; looks miles better than the white rims...

cheers, jack

How about yellow?.....






Seriously though body colour would be fine or maybe white provided you run at least a centre cap. Although I have to agree with Jack, white rims do detract from the whitewall.

Try photo shop to see what you like if you cant use photo shop try one of the other drawing programs

It depends if you're putting original hubcaps on. If so, I'd do them white. With the narrow band white wall the white rim does suit it. With the fat whitewall, it doesnt so much

If you're going for something like moon caps or bullets, then painting them the colour of the car would look ok.

Your choice, really

it's a personal preferance thing in my mind i think white rim with white wall no good BUT i've had 2 blue cars (different blues) i did the rims blue and to me blue rims looked horrid so did them white and loved them

I go with white as well,

How about crommie's with original hubcaps ??

in the end it's your car so whatever floats your boat !!!!

Thanks all. I decided on this;

looks good to me, i think if you did them green there would have been to much green

Ditto Harry ,

White rims with those tyres suit fine.....

And caps

Looks right with the thin whitewalls. Very nice.

If using the wider whitewalls, I'd have gone the green.

Nice .

White looks great!
