Bronze wheels are too common... go with white; that'll look sick (and it's not done as often). Are you powdercoating or rattle-canning?

Both are common by the way.
Not AS common as, say, black.
But nothing new or unique.
Silver looks good on your car.
Better than bronze would look. And much better than white on white.

Black coloured rims would seem better suited for white car. White on white would look somewhatplain. White rims with red (any colour)pinstriping, or etc. can make the rims stand out. Do not paint rims with can spray. Paint them with spray gun or have someone do itfor you. The outcome is better.
