white yaris; white wheels?

[botchilah]

Hey all,

I'm taking delivery of my Yaris sometime tomorrow. It's a white 5-door hatchback and I'm getting 17' multi-spoke wheels from ROTA. Its this design:

I'm leaning towards the white as I'm always been a rally-car fan. Opinions on what color? Gun-metal looks good, so does the gold wheels. Definitely not silver though.

Also, if I get the white, I'll probably have it redone since I don't like the shade of white. Probably something closer to the white used by Honda in their Type-R line.

Comments?

White rims are certainly unique because you don't see many cars with that. In my opinion I think the gunmetal color would be better, but thats just me. here's a pic of what gunmetal would look like on a yaris.

Thanks. It does look nice but the monotone theme is something I really like. Grey car with gunmetal wheels = white car with white wheels :)

What's the front bumper on that Yaris?

[808_Yaris]

It's part of the S model. Thanks for the compliment. Go for the white one then :)

I like the white on white. Here's my old Neon with a fine set of Motegi's.

depends on the colour of the rims....if the whites arent close in tone itll look silly

Barber's right on about the tone match. With a solid match and nice open rims like that, what's your thought on white calipers as well?

I had some white ls webs on my civic a long time ago. They looked pretty nice.

White SSR Type Cs would look hot.

DAMN! RG2s!

I love white on white. However, it is very difficult to find white wheels that match the body (I agree with the above posts).

[WeeYari]

Definitely can only be pulled off with a tone match. Mismatch = regret.

white on white means you'll be cleaning the wheels daily and the car every other day.

my silver yaris on flat black painted steel wheels looks good without taking a bath for months :D

it'll look good but you better like cleaning

I didn't have a problem. It wasn't any worse than any other color. Dark shows the dirt more. That particular wheel is hard because of all the spokes. My Yaris rim is easy to clean. :biggrin:

[thebarber]

its more the spokes that req cleaning...i had superleggera's on my xrs at one point it it was a pita to clean....then i went to 5 spoke rims...MUCH better!

I had the white one white combo with my previous car. TE37's are easy to clean, and they were big enough for me to reach the inside of the wheel as well. I want to get another set of white wheels for my Yaris later on.

had white wheels in my old white civic... gave up after a few months. just too hard to maintain...just too lazy for it..but if ever you want to go for it, a white with blue or red lip looks good :)
