Colour schemes are a very personal thing. Personally I like white race cars with white wheels, but only I have to like it.
Heres a pic of my last rally car.

P.S The Starion is now back to together so I will post some pics tomorrow.
Hitchy.... I read in your earlier post that you were going to do this and was a bit surprised. I am impressed with your attention
to detail, but thumbs down on this one! The wheels are lost in the tyre and almost look like space savers or steel rims from a distance.

Get some larger wheels with lower profile tyres :wink:
And I'm not talking 17's or 18's. Just maximum allowable which would be 16x7, 16x8 without engineers cert.

:beer

PS. I do prefer the white wheels as the whole wheel can be seen clearly!

Looks like the rim dissaperes for some reason. I do like black rims in general but this looks odd.

Seems my black wheels are a love em or hate em affair, I have already made comment in other topics about this and I'll say it again using the same excuse, In the pics the bright sunlight has washed them out alot, I totally agree with your opinions if you're using the pics as evidence. If you see them in person your opinion may differ. Everybody who has seen them in person really like the black wheels. Unforntanately I didn't have funds available to buy the wheels which i wanted (16x7 superlites in charcoal) The Minister for Home Affairs was fine with money being spent on things that were broken but big wheels etc, may have pushed the friendship a bit considering she already lets me have two toys on top off mortgage, kids, etc bla bla bla. And as you know or imagine Starions & Rallycars are an excellent source of finance deduction!!!

In closing thanks for all your comments, but at the end individuality is what makes all our Starions special.

Respect to you all :beer
