Rims and Colors

I have a winning blue baby, but I'm gonna get my rims Powder Coated this summer. I wanna be original but at the same time I wanna know what color you guys thinks look best on the WB's. I don't really have a program that i can photo shop some different colors on there either. so if you guys have any pics or whatever it may be, i would really appreciate it. i was thinking white just cause i dont ever really see it but not sure how it will look. any opinions wanted. thanks.

I like gunmetal and white on blues. White is too much for me personally though, so I have gunmetals.

i don't know if he needs ideas for non winning blue 8s so the blue on black won't help him much. although morbid curiosity has me wondering what they look like (i remember seeing a WWP with blue and really didn't like it). i do think that white looks nice on blue but isn't practical. not sure that i'm really digging the white on VR.

i've debated the same with my WB. I think the only ones that really look good are bronzes, blacks, and gunmetals. I think the white makes it look too "rx8 type R." I did start thinking crazy too, I think LIME GREEN would look pretty sick with the WB. haha, if your balsy enough.

Not to be rude but you want to be original but want opinions on how to roll with your setup?

random thought - do you have forza 3 or gt??

if so, have you tried playing with the color schemes on there?? Would save you the trouble of trying to visualize it mentally.

if not all good.

I say white wheels w/blue time attack stripe and finish it off with blue lug's.

yup, like a small stripe along the edge of the rim. Would be best if done in a gloss color.

GED opinion? I'm sure I'm too stupid for even that level of competence.
